On average, students who attend schools for gifted children have a lower academic self-concept than students of equal intelligence who attend regular schools with students of widely varying abilities. If we consider research about factors affecting students' sense of self, we can explain this finding in the following way:
a. children who attend gifted programs typically have more assertive parents, and such parents tend to undermine their children's self-esteem.
b. having a label of any kind—even the label "gifted"—tends to lower self-esteem.
c. identifying a child as gifted requires an intensive evaluation, and evaluations inevitably lower self-esteem.
d. children form their self-concepts in part by comparing their own performance to the performance of those around them.
