If the bad students and the students with non-caring parents are left at school AAA, their behavior won't disrupt the students and teachers who care at schools BBB and CCC.
If the number of students declines, of course the amount of $$$ will decline, but the bucks per student remains the same.

I think the problem would be that the enviroment becomes toxic at school AAA - and those students trapped at it because of either economic, social, or familial reasons would continue to perpetuate the substandard education.
Enviroment is substantial in the forming of a persons perception of education - kids exposed to an enivroment where education or "book smarts" is mocked or looked-down on have little to now motivation to pursue education; the opposite is true as well: where education is lauded a greater number of kids will pursue higher education.
The problem with your system is that it doesn't adequately provide for those that want to break out of the system/cycle of poor education limiting their future... and in effect condemns them.
