Weed out the "poor" students and your school looks like it manufactures geniuses.

But what to do with the unwanted children your filtering system blocked from your school? Leave them for the schools of last resort--the Public (Socialist) Schools. Then you can point to their lousy test scores and call the Public Schools failures . . . and demand more money for your successful school.
