The same could be said of a state grammar, really, with perhaps the proviso that there's possibly going to be less 'intensive intervention' for the DC who ISN'T coping as that costs money (for the school)- the privately ed'ed DC's parents might be asked or told to get extra private tuition under those circumstances? I don't know!
No, I am SO not starting a state v. private debate here , but I am wondering whether this (the OP) is what privately paying parents feel they're getting?
I know someone well who has well, I suppose 'blamed' her relative 'lack of success' (I don't see it that way as she does the same job as me!!) on her schooling; she now, courtesy of a DH in banking, has her 2 x DSs in academically selective private schools and part of her rationale IS that idea that at least she'll KNOW they're being MADE to do their best.
I also speak as someone who MAY put a DS into a small class private for 2 final primary years to attempt to get him up to speed so I'm not criticising!

IF you send your 'normal' DC to an academic private school, do you feel sure they are working to the limit of their ability?
