According to the NAGC Gifted Child Quarterly Summer 2003 Vol. 47, "Participation in honors programs, where there are opportunities [for] student-faculty contact, and contact with highly motivated peers, are positively related to academic achievement."

Are you considering early entrance?  Take a moment to read Thinking About Early Entrance to College?, an extract of a scholarly paper written by Paula Olszewski-Kubilius, PhD, at Northwestern University.

According to this extract, evidence shows that early entrants have higher GPA's than true college freshmen, are more likely to complete college on time, to earn general and departmental college honors, and to complete concurrent master's degrees.

You may also find the site "A Nation Deceived: How Schools Hold Back Americans Brightest Students" to be very useful in your research.  Sponsored by the Connie Belin & Jacqueline N. Blank International Center for Gifted Education and talent Development.  For example, this study finds that when children's academic and social needs are not met, the result is boredom and disengagement from school.
