If the purpose of schools is to teach 90% of the students to comply as accurately as possible with the orders they are given then this is a success. This is what businesses expect from the 90% when they enter the work force. If the purpose of schools is to encourage the 10% free thinkers to explore and grow then this is utter failure. It's hard to reconcile both views in one school system, but I wish we'd err on the side of the 10%. Those are the ones who will make a difference.
