I'd better question the way how teaching low achieving students (as opposed to "talented and gifted") is done. The first thing you do to make a person low achieving is call them so and treat them like "low achieving" all the time.
I recall there probably are even some researches indicating that if you treat a student like genius, he or she will most likely turn into genius. We can't reliably measure what we call "natural abilities".
In other words, what you need IMO is not only spending more money on talented students, but also considering more students gifted and talented. Although this is probably slightly out of scope here. =)
