gifted students
Academically advanced children
Gifted students are children identified as having exceptional intellectual ability or talent, typically through standardized testing or academic performance.
Schools often place them in accelerated programs or enrichment classes: The gifted students met twice a week for advanced math.
The label is controversial—critics argue it creates harmful hierarchies and that giftedness is often conflated with privilege or early academic exposure rather than innate capacity.
