I think you need to read the NPR interview. The raw economic numbers only tell part of the story. That's why you look at the people involved.
Besides you are talking about two entirely different things. Schools and academic performance are not car sales, and cannot be treated as such. Moreover if you look at the measures that were used to assess academic performance in many of the comparative studies, that data is taken into account. You are letting your ideology blind you to reality.
