Precocious is a comic strip revolving around four children who might just be a tad too smart for their own good.
They children attend the Poppinstock Academy for Gifted Children, founded to provide a special curriculum of education for children of elementary school age who have tested at a high enough level to merit such attention. The school's official mascot is the Poppinstock Visionary. There's no getting around the elitist nature of the school, but the kids can at least take pride that their advantages are a form of meritocracy rather than plutocracy. (Not that a meritocracy doesn't have its own issues...)
