At the present stage of the development of the education system in our country, work with gifted schoolchildren is actively carried out in three areas: in general education organizations, in organizations of additional education and within the framework of the Olympiad and competition movement. The participation of gifted children in Olympiads and competitions allows them to express themselves, increase their competence in the field of science and activity of interest, creates conditions for the development of the abilities of a gifted student and stimulates his self-development. The All-Russian School Olympiad remains one of the most prestigious Olympiads for schoolchildren in Russia. Several million Russian schoolchildren take part in it every year (about 7 million in 2023/24 academic years). The regions of the Russian Federation organize work on the preparation and support of the participants of the School in different ways, which affects the activity of the participants. The article analyzes the participation of schoolchildren from Kostroma and the Kostroma region in the All-Russian School Olympiad in Humanities for five years. The results demonstrated the desire of Kostroma schoolchildren to participate in this Olympiad, however, they showed the need to strengthen the work on accompanying gifted schoolchildren in the process of preparation and participation in the Olympiad, as well as in the post-Olympic period. The results of the study were obtained on the basis of an analysis of documentation and statistical data provided by the State Budgetary Institution of the Kostroma region “Center for Gifted Schoolchildrenˮ.
