In the UK many Catholic schools do well but will be all girls schools and/or highly selective as you say. I went to C of E primary, the other side of the same coin, which for all intents and purposes is the common school system in the UK with some "light" religious aspects (we'd go to church many times a year, all school plays were Christianity themed etc. and we sung hymns exclusively). What pains me is that age for children is when they need to be learning useful things and yet, 30 odd years later, I remember word for word about 20 hymns about a God who I am certain doesn't exist and a religion I see as no more than a piece of fantasy literature which got a head of steam up and changed the world.I actually just posted a study a little bit above this that shows the schools he mentioned in England only do marginally better and only because they are selective in who they let in.
