What does “labeling at school" mean? Is is possible that it means children being classified into different groups on the basis of their intelligence or their parents' social status? Thank you.

LAbeling means saying that a child has some sort of academic, physical, mental, behavioral, or other issue which may (or may not) require special services. Some parents object to their children being "labeled", but in those cases it usually ends up being more harmful to the kids. I am an elementary school teacher. I always have to deal with kids with obvious problems, but parents who are in denial.

its also a term people use to describe the different type of groups you see at school. for example: nerds, jocks, goths, narcs, emo, etc.

It really depends on the situation. Where did you see this sentence? In what context?
