Some French public middle schools offer gifted students the opportunity to pursue their education in general classes, while benefiting from specific facilities within the framework of a dedicated educational program. In this study, we sought to identify and analyze the needs of these students as perceived by the headmaster of each middle school involved. The results highlight two main student needs, common to all these programs (uneasiness and difficulties in peer relationships) as well as needs specifically mentioned by some headmasters (non-adaptive behavior).
