You should also take the parental factor into account when considering the Giles School. Parents who send their kids to Giles are taking an active interest in their child's education, to the point of making a sizable investment into it and researching alternatives.
That suggests the children at Giles have been raised in an environment that puts a strong emphasis on learning. They've been pre-programmed to thrive in the Giles environment. A lot of kids just aren't raised that way. Their parents may approve of scholastic success and encourage it, but simply don't go about instilling that properly.
