The quality of schools varies tremendously, and it might be true that some kids can thrive anywhere it is certainly not true that schools are all fungible. There are lots and lots of mediocre or just good schools, and often at those schools, many kids have trouble graduating.
I think that has a lot to do with the type of students they accept. Let's be honest, many kids at these third tier schools really aren't college caliber, and the graduation rates show it. I went to see one, so i know. I do think the better schools have more peer pressure to do well, and probably better tracking/resources to keep kids in college, but a dedicated/smart student is going to get a good education at most decent colleges.
