My little brother gets mixed grades (As, Bs and Cs) in high school and also happens to have several computers.
On the other hand, he knows how to program and is one of the _five_ best high school physics students in the United States. (He was on the physics olympiad team this past summer).
The rest of my siblings and I are similar to him, just not as extreme. (My sister and I received 800s on the GRE quantitative section).
Having computers around may not encourage the "standard" educational system, but it can help foster math/science/engineering skills.
