True, to some degree, but IQ is rooted in the Stanford-Binet test, which is very much aligned with school testing. Course, you get into circular concepts here. It was meant to test for school, so it used school-liked questions, so doing well is... well... redundant.
Not useless, it is predictive enough to be worthwhile, but... not exactly as meaningful as people make it out to be.
