The article mentions a study that shows the direct influence of a Montessori school. The study was published in Science. You can read it here:

http://www.montessori-science.org/montessori_science_journal... (click "see article full text")

An excerpt:

    On several dimensions, children at a public inner city Montessori school 
    had superior outcomes relative to a sample of Montessori applicants who, 
    because of a random lottery, attended other schools. By the end of 
    kindergarten, the Montessori children performed better on standardized 
    tests of reading and math, engaged in more positive interaction on 
    the playground, and showed more advanced social cognition and 
    executive control.
TL;DR: Montessori kids turn out better on many measures when controlling for "bright parents".
