The second "they" referred to Logos School:

"Would it be better for LOGOS SCHOOL to accept children who they
[LOGOS SCHOOL] believed, rightly or wrongly, they [LOGOS SCHOOL] would
fail?"

If "they" had referred to the children, I would have written:

Would it be better for LOGOS SCHOOL to accept children who they [LOGOS
SCHOOL] believed, rightly or wrongly, would fail?"

The omission of the second "they" unambiguously changes the meaning to
your interpretation.  I apologize for the tortured grammar which made
the confusion possible.

Not warm and fuzzy, but perhaps grateful for the honesty which would
have prevented me from enrolling Johnny in an inadequate institution.

Possibly.  Or another private school with the resources that Logos
School apparently lacks.
