On average, students who attend schools for gifted children have lower self-esteem 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 psychological evaluation, and such evaluations inevitably lower self-esteem. d. Children form their self-concepts in part by comparing their own performance to the performance of peers they see frequently.
