In a small (very small) way. IQ tests are primarily about information processing. The faster one does (efficiency), and the better one's correct::incorrect score ratio (comprehensiveness), the higher the score. HOWEVER, some children with high IQs will do terrible in a traditional school (i.e. state-run public K-12). The reason for this is most commonly boredom, as people tend not to pay attention to boring topics/situations. With a high IQ, certain subjects may seem very simple to a student, thus making them quite annoying to spend excessive amounts of sustained mental effort on. On the contrasting point, children with low IQs are not necessarily D/F students. The reason a child with a low IQ will do bad in school is usually due to a difficulty in understanding topics, and therefore they MAY need additional, personal help from a teacher/tutor. But, as stated, a low IQ DOES NOT mean the child will preform below average in school. The most commonly seen reason for a low IQ is either a learning disability (dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADD/ADHD, etc.) or the child may just dislike tests(quite common in very young children). Keep in mind that, with these conditions, the child's intelligence in not portrayed as low. IQ tests are only a measure of speed and comprehension, which do NOT proclaim how smart a child is. Conclusion: An IQ test is NOT able to predict whether a child will do well or not in school. Only time and experience can tell.

Why is it possible to have a reliable measure that is not valid but impossible to have a valid measure that is not reliable?

A reliable measure is consistent and yields consistent results, so it may not be measuring the intended construct accurately (lack validity). On the other hand, a valid measure accurately assesses the intended construct, but it must be consistent and produce stable results (reliable) to ensure that the measurements are dependable and trustworthy.

Why a traditional school is not good fit for a child who is behind?

If the child is already behind, the school has an obligation to teach on grade level, then the child will be forced to catch up or stay behind. The school has to keep test scores up for funding. If the child is behind, test scores are low, therefore the school must focus on the "performers" that bring in the funding.
