Compacted math is always a separate class.
In general for everything before that its all the same teacher.
Sometimes kids switch teachers for reading (K-2) to even things out but switching is not to a "higher" class just to get a group of kids at similar level.
Math prior to 4/5 is one size fits all (in my experience), even though the school acts like this is not the case)

As stated above, it is a school decision about departmentalizing. However, compacted math is a separate curriculum and is not taught in the classroom with Math 4. It is either taught as a separate class or those students are bussed to the local middle school.

It is my understanding that under 2.0, the practice of "team teaching" in elementary school has largely been eliminated. Just curious how this plays out, especially with compacted math. If a child is in compacted math 4/5, is that separate a separate class from the regular math 4 or is the same teacher teaching the compacted math side-by-side with the regular math 4 curriculum by just grouping abilities within the classroom? Do the children have the same teacher for all of 3rd/4th/5th grade (every subject), or do they still find ways to team teach/trade the teachers within each grade around so that students are exposed to more than one teacher? Similarly, are all the reading groups for the same class run by the class teacher, or do the teachers ever cross-over students of matched abilities for a joint reading group? Thanks! Just trying to understand how this is being implemented.
It's a school-by-school decision. Some teams are departmentalized, some aren't. It depends on the principal.
