This is anecdotal, but in 10th grade I transferred to a charter school with no separate classes. The "gifted" students were in the same school as the students who needed extra attention.
The end result was just that-- all of the attention was given to the students who needed it. The cirriculum was dumbed down, and the "gifted" students didn't learn almost anything.
It was better for the students who needed help, and much worse for the students that didn't.
I view the end result akin to eliminating salary negotiations to help those who are too afraid to negotiate.
