Fear of returning to the oft-criticized academic tracking of students has led progressive educators to be reticent to group highly able/gifted students by ability. However, recent research supports the effectiveness of ability grouping for the highest performers and, concomitantly, the detriments of the exclusive use of heterogeneous grouping.
