Preferred term

gifted dropouts  

Definition

  • Gifted dropouts refers to gifted students who drop out of high school despite their potential to succeed academically in school in comparison to the general student population. There are no good estimates of the number of gifted dropouts because of the differing definitions of giftedness and limited comprehensive longitudinal studies done with this population.
