As a parent, I have experience of, in order, top of the league table state school, private school, and a mediocre to poor state school (all Scotland).
The first top of the league table state school was less diverse in income terms than the private one! Seemed to be a lot more pushy parents too.
The Scottish catchment area system has created state schools which have nobody on free school dinners or classed as deprived.
