It seems that 'lotteried out' students face a different educational experience compared to 'lotteried in' students that may have not been accounted for. To conduct a study that truly compares apples to apples wouldn't 'lotteried out' students need to be placed in public school classes entirely made up of other 'lotteried out' students? Is there an effect that may impede (or enhance) the learning gains of 'lotteried out' students by sharing a class with non-lotteried students?
