Catholic school teachers get paid less than public school teachers and their scores are fine.

No. Most private schools don't take the state exams at all. They don't have to, even if they take state money. So, there aren't any "scores" that are comparable at all.

Private schools have the advantage of total control over whom they let in and whom they kick out. It makes a huge difference.

Private schools certainly have their own issues that public schools don't have to deal with, but they can't all be painted with the "better than public schools" brush.
