"Sounds like you've never lived in the real world."
You're the one talking about how it's somehow your right to break into private systems, because muh learning.
This doesn't sound like the real world to me.
"Again, it's high-school. You seriously have no idea how to incentivize this type of kid."
Why should we? Why shouldn't this type of kid have to follow the same rules as anyone else?
The administration was already aware of potential flaws in their system, but chose not to fix it. These kids decided to exploit them anyway. If this was at a workplace, they would be fired at best and have a criminal record at worst.

Why shouldn't this type of kid have to follow the same rules as anyone else? Why don't we punish 5 year olds as adults? Hint: answer is the same. > The administration was already aware of potential flaws in their system, but chose not to fix it. And now they will. Both are at fault. Both have blame. But we're saying "Don't turn these kids into criminals. Push them to use their skills in a way that can help our society (ie: security researcher). They're still young enough that they can change. These aren't hardened criminals we're talking about. We're talking about kids. tldr: Kids aren't adults. Who knew this was such a controversial topic?
