This is an explicit suggestion that poor students not only perform worse than rich students, but are detrimental to their education.

No, it suggests that economic diversity is a reasonable goal and there's plenty of evidence supporting that it works. Speaking from my own experiences, had there not been an economic mix during my own middle/high school years, I can imagine that I would not have fared as well. Most of my friends were not from my immediate community. Rather, they were mainly from middle/upper middle class environments.
