Abstract

The article summarizes the results of an investigation assessing a group of students of senior high from vulnerable schools. The central objective of the study was to compare their averages on the various scales with those students who rank average or below in the class groups in variables related to the student´s intellectual capacity, self-esteem, resilience and psychological well-being. Data was collected through different scales, all of them showed levels of reliability above 0.70 (Cronbach Alpha). The results indicated that performance is within the expected range for their age. However, the significant differences between the groups of high performance and the rest of the group were only evident in the intellectual performance; Self esteem (scale home); resilience (learning y models) and psychological well-being (acceptance and projection).
