All reference norms were positively interrelated. Regression models yielded different results across school tracks: In elementary school, both the individual and the social reference norm were positively related to self-concept on the student level. In mixed school tracks, social reference norm was positively related to self-concept, and there was an interaction effect between grades and social reference norm on the student level. In the highest school track, students{\textquoteright} individual reference norm and perceived teacher social reference norm were positively related to self-concept on the student level. On the classroom level, students{\textquoteright} perceived teacher social reference norm was negatively related to self-concept in mixed school tracks, but positively related to self-concept in the highest school track. Evidence for the big-fish-little-pond-effect was found across all school tracks. These results highlight the importance of considering different reference norms in further research and educational practice. Highlights Students{\textquoteright} own and perceived teacher reference norms converge. Students{\textquoteright} reference norms are positively related to self-concept.
