I did a paper on this topic last year at uni, and something I found was that many studies found little or no academic advantage to these students to being put into a separate class. When gifted and talented students are in a mixed ability class, they are able to help other students (peer teaching) which is of advantage to all students (there is heaps of research on this too!) Hope this helps! Try google scholar for academic research papers, there has been a lot of research done into gats education!
