Abstract

The paper presents results of a study, which considered students with good performance from four priority schools characterized by low PSU scores, high absenteeism of teachers and students, and drug use. The focus of this research was to determine whether there were differences in intellectual ability, self-esteem, resilience and psychological well-being among high performance students and those ones within the group of the average or low performance. In order to achieve this goal, various standardized tests were applied as level of resilience and self-esteem scale. Results indicate a high correlation between school performance and intellectual performance, but there were no differences between self-esteem and resilience variables.
