Meg is probably average; I certainly don't think she's dumb or slow, and she's very trainable when she's not scared, but she doesn't think stuff through by herself or anything like that.
Gusto would either be the class genius, or the one that the teacher called the FBI about, because just maybe he's building a bomb at home or planning to hack the National Treasury. He's not only very trainable, but he figures out the strangest stuff. For instance, he likes when I get the yardstick out to get his ball out from under the furniture. It hangs on the inside of the door to the basement. He will deliberately paw his ball under the tv stand, and then run to the door with the yardstick, rather than barking or pawing at the ball like most dogs do. It's fun to watch his little brain click through things.
