Define success.
If one gets the best score but has no social skills, no friends, no fun and no creativity then is that success.
This (only considering a test score) is like doing A/B testing but only looking at impressions and not at conversions, or only looking at conversion rates and not at conversion value. In web terms you can succeed by reducing both your impressions and conversion rates (by taking more money of less people and only attracting motivated customers).
Sorry that's more destructive than constructive WRT what the right course of action is.
Are there [large scale] education systems that consider happiness of pupils, reduction in bullying, positive social interaction and such to be metrics to assess and improve?
