Passing exams doesn't preclude you, although it's well know in America that their education is the first thing to fall by the wayside, perhaps things aren't to bad over here after all, it could even be a government soundbite 'we have the best educated gang members in the world'
I think had the headteacher done what you suggest he would have been on the receiving end of some serious comeback from several avenues.

Things could be a lot worse definitely but isn't the purpose of debates like these is to raise issues such as this with the hope of preventing things from getting worse?

As for having the best educated gangs in the world, LOL, did you read the content of the message boards?
