ANChan59,
Would you please let us know if there is any difference if the kid has attended PYP and MY ...

Our family didn't consider ESF and IS years back, so I didn't have first hand experience about PYP & MYP, therefore, I am not in a position to comment on the difference PYP & MYP. My experience is limited to IBDP.
I researched in the internet a moment ago and find an article from US - Michigan State related to IB - PYP, MYP, DP and also AP. The article also explained different routes after MYP and gifted education with IBDP, quite interesting and useful to map our kids footprint in HK.

I just post the conclusion as follow:
Conclusion
While one size never fits allin education, the growth of IB programming in Michigan is a positive addition to the former array of educational options. For years, educators and parents alike have searched for an alternative for middle school education, sometimes viewed as the weakest link in the educational chain. The MYP program, whetherthe standard five years, as is the case in part of Bloomfield Hills, or the three-year MYP program, such as that in part of Troy, offers a newoption for middle school students to become critical, divergent thinkers and global citizens. For the ambitious, hardworking high school student, the growth of International Baccalaureate programs adds to the Advanced Placement and dual enrollment options that existed previously.
Overall, the studied and structured growth of IBO schools in Michigan should be embraced even if it is not the answer for every gifted learner. As school districts or individual schools begin the IBO certification or conversion process, it is important to remember that IBO education represents a paradigm shift from top-down education to an interactive experience with a mutual exchange of information and ideas.The key word here is “process.” As with any major institutional change, some results will be readily apparent and others will take more time, more effort and more compromise. A key factor to a smooth transition is that parents, students, teachers and administrators buy into and own the experience.
Sorry for my limited knowledge, just refer some info for your reference.
