No.

Ok, I'll concede that it does happen sometimes. But overall, I'd bet that schools which care very much about average test scores are probably very selective as to who they'll accept in the first place.

Of course, if we got rid of public schools entirely then all that money would be freed up for private sector education, which would mean an enormous and unpredictable variety of school choice.
