From what I've read, it seems that for students in schools not ranked in the top 150, their marks don't really get scaled up. So is it true that their score will remain closer to their actual raw marks?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Completely incorrect. School rank has nothing to do with scaling, as the rank of schools changes each year.

If you're worried about getting dragged down by your cohort, work hard to get ranked 1st in all of your subjects and you won't need to worry about them.

That's what I'm aiming for.

I have natural geniuses in all my classes.


Perhaps it'd be easier to put them out of the picture?

Haha, nah. I'll study hard then.

It would definitely be easier to eliminate them...

But the next best thing is for you to probably model yourself around them, try and arrange study sessions with them and get as close them in terms of mark disparity as humanly possible.
