In this study, gifted students who dropped out of school reported a variety of reasons for dropping out of school. Although gifted male students' reasons were more related to economic factors and gifted female students' reasons were more related to personal factors, school-related reasons such as "I did not like school" or " I am failing school" were common between both groups. In addition, study results indicated that gifted students' educational aspirations were significantly related to dropping out of school. Low educational aspirations were often reported because of personal or schoolrelated problems. "Gifted dropouts" is a group that has attracted less attention in research than other groups but that should not continue to be ignored. The dropout rate of gifted and talented students from high school constitutes the loss of a national resource that must be addressed. xv
