This work deals with characteristic analyses of elementary school fourth graders who accomplished thehighest achievement in TIMSS 2015 in Serbia in order to identify and better understand their personal andcontext characteristics. The students whose achievement both in mathematics and science test was abovethe eightieth percentile constituted a group of academically gifted students (N=586), which was compared tothe rest of students from a representative national sample whose achievement in at least on one of the twotests was under the eightieth percentile (N=3450). The differences between the academically gifted groupand the group consisting of the rest of the students were examined in regard to important characteristics ofthe students, as well as their family and school background. The data were collected through questionnairescompleted by the students themselves, their parents, their teachers and the principals of the schools thosestudents attended. Statistical data analysis covered ...the testing of statistical significance of differences betweenthe two groups on chosen variables. The obtained results showed that the academically gifted group and thegroup of the rest of the students differed on very few included variables and that those differences were weak.Among the differences in terms of individual characteristics of students, only the differences in mathematicsself-concept were practically significant, whereas among the differences regarding the home background,those concerning home learning resources, parents’ education, and vocation and parents’ aspirations abouttheir child’s education, were worth mentioning. Academically gifted students in regard to the rest of thestudents, had a more positive mathematics self-concept, better home resources for learning, more educatedparents, parents with a higher professional status and the parents who had higher education aspirations fortheir child. It was concluded that the findings of this study were in accordance with the results of earlier studiesof a psychological, pedagogical and sociological profile of the academically gifted students both in Serbia andother countries. The limitations of the study that could affect the obtained results were pointed out, as well asthe directions of necessary future research in the domain of academic talents. The educational implications ofthe results about defining and creating conditions for reaching higher academic achievement with a greaternumber of students within Serbian education system were derived.
