I'm reminded of something a veteran administrator told us some years ago, one of the few positive/useful recollections I have of the miserable middle school years.
Essentially she said that it takes a while for "the switch to flip" with some more than others, that the transition to when their thought process goes to the next level/phase is one of the harder things to predict (she was a believer that you knew roughly what range a student would fall in overall by around 3rd grade ... which makes it frustrating to see those who have higher ceilings be slow to have that switch flip about things like habits, work ethic, etc)
