Terrible policy aside, I have a theory that schools — and large public schools, particularly — are terrible social environments in no small part because they don't grow organically.

Nah, people are malleable enough selection doesn't matter if you have a good organizing principle. Company is a bad metaphor for school because success is not as tightly coupled (org profitablity).
What I'm saying is that it's much, much easier to develop a good organizing principle within groups small enough to maintain tight feedback loops, recognize deviance, iterate on strategy and effectively propagate those iterations, etc. Cautiously scale a working system.
