Marsh and Kit-Tai Hua's 2003 study found that a student's academic self-concept is less positive when students are in a school with a lot of high achievers. This is known as the "big-fish-little-pond effect," where students compare themselves to their high-achieving peers and may feel like smaller fish in a big pond. This can lead to lower academic self-concept, even for gifted students.
