schools (popular or good)

I think it odd that today's BBC reports about wicked parents lying about 
believing in God to get their kids into schools, is describing the schools 
as 'popular.'

Surely it would be more accurate to describe the schools they want their 
kids to go to as either 'competent' or even 'educationally successful'?

Perhaps they are popular because they are either 'competent' or even 
'educationally successful', or perhaps both.
