Cliques at a super school

What kind of cliques would a school for superheroes/superhumans have?  I could see it being rich vs poor students, but also things like students who still look human/normal vs those who don’t for some reason, hero’s kids vs villains kids, people with powers vs people without, Magic vs science, etc. Any thoughts?

I think Sky High is a great example of this.
And also, in my opinion, an underrated movie with the potential for a great franchise. It just came out a bit ahead of it's time - just before the superhero craze really hit.

Either. All the classes looked fun.

Maybe those with super strength and invulnerability have their own cliche, similar to way athletes and jocks have always tended to hang out with each other. Historically, jocks and cheerleaders, etc. Plus dating is probably safer when kept within that group. When sex is new and exploratory, superstrength would be dangerous between physical supers and the physically normal. 

Those with mental powers would likely be the weirdo cliche because of always. 

Those with invisibility would be the tricksters who everyone hated. 

Etc...

This is essentially what I'm thinking too:
The physically strong types might group together, while the pretty and athletic women might group together (perhaps even some psychics to create the ultimate mean-girls). 
Super-smart/intelligent might also group together as most other people wouldn't be smart enough to understand what is going on with them. 
"Magic" users might also group together, and will have a fiercy debate with the science people about which of them is cooler or more powerful. 
The ones with mind oriented powers are likely either the most admired, or the most distrusted. They can use their power to mimic most other physical powers, and they might also be able to alter/read your mind. I could see a pretty girl being admired while a stereotypical nerd might be disliked for his power. 

Looks along with type and level of power are probably key in that determination.

The recent GenV series could be seen as a good example of cliques where kids who have strong or really cool powers become the "cool kids" while those with the weird stuff get lumped as the "outsiders."

For example, the character "Golden Boy" played by Arnold Schwarzenegger's son is super strong, invincible, fly, and burst into flames. So, he is top of the pack. While one of the main character's powers is shrinking, which everyone kind of looks down upon as a gimmick. It gets even worse when news breaks that she shrinks herself by throwing up like someone suffering from bulimia.

Aliens versus humans, depending on how many aliens there are.

Every club that exists in a normal school. Just because the students have powers doesn't mean they wouldn't prefer to socialize with people who share their interest in music, literature, or sports.

Probably a clique of regular bully victims, joining forces to hide from their super powered bullies. And a corresponding clique of habitual bullies.

Given the intense recruiting efforts that would be made to get ahold of graduates with useful powers, there would likely be more and less formal cliques for students with an intended career choice, whether that is criminal, heroic, military, intelligence, or whatever.

If there's only a single super-school for the whole world, there would likely be cliques based on national or regional or other cultural groupings. The smaller the area of the "school zone" the less such cliques would form.
