If a school cannot be held accountable for student performance then why do they exist?

If a school cannot be held accountable for student performance then why do they exist?

The school was accountable. They gave the materials to the students, presented lessons, and gave quizzes, test, and projects. The students either did not do the work, or failed to meet the standards of the school. Parents knew the phone number to the school and where the building is located, along with its hours of operation if they want to check on their childs progress.
I am amazed that the school flunked them. I had a student two years ago that failed every class but P.E. and lunch for two years. I went to the assistant principle and asked if we were going to hold him back. I was told it was up to the parent. Even if his mom did ask, we probably would not hold him.
Now if the teachers were not telling the kids their grades, or when the assignments were due then yes the school would be accountable. If there are bad practices in the building then they need to be fixed. However failing students do not always mean failing schools.
