Not always. What about the kids who were in the Top 25 of my graduating class in high school who were dumber than sticks? It was very, very common for certain students to whine to the teacher until a grade was changed. Or for some students with parents who were higher-ups in the school system to magically get good grades. One of the valedictorians in the class that graduated before mine did not deserve the honor, and everyone knew it.
