Description
 
 
This brief article presents the findings of a study consisting of interviews with 152 mid-Atlantic middle and high school African-American students. A number of conclusions are drawn from the study, including the underrepresentation of these students in gifted programs, difficulty in identification, and the need for partnerships between home-student-school to promote achievement.
