That is generally fair. Of course there are issues in the system with "good" schools and "poor" schools, but in general it's ok.
The problem comes when that system is circumvented by a small minority who receive "better" education and far, far more opportunities.

"Good" schools and "poor" schools are usually nothing of the sort - they are (usually) just a reflection of the intake / catchment area. My children went to a so called "beacon" primary school. The reality was it was not a patch in organisational, etc terms on the old one that my son originally attended in London. The beacon school just happened to be located in one of the most affluent towns on the country whereas the former school in a not very affluent part of the country. Transfer the latter school to the former's location and it would result in chaos and failing school status!
