I don't think this is the big issue people are making it out to be. If I read this article correctly, the stupidity is being demonstrated by the parents of the underachievers.
The schools are only complying with them 'cause it really is against state policy to release this information. The institutions are not thinking that showering overachievers (although I prefer to think of them as simply students and that everyone should "overachieve") will be to the detreminent of others, although the article certainly makes it sound that way.
It is an interesting story, though...
