If only all schools could produce productive, knowledgeable, and responsible members of society.

Sounds like the schools aim is to produce decent, well-adjusted, hard-working graduates. Not a bad objective, IMO.

I agree; however, that objective could also be at the core of a church's mission statement. The fundamental job of the school is education. It is by educating that the school produces productive, knowledgable, responsible members of society.

The statement addresses the ends, without consideration of the means. That leaves the means open to interpretation.
