I've taught students like this, From a teachers' perspective, they are a pleasure to teach, unless you make the mistake of giving them 99% on even the smallest assignment. A notable case involved a student using her entire spare period (and my prep.) to argue for a 1% increase.

Undoubtedly, there's a bit of an obsession involved, but some people here have hit the nail on the head; high school really isn't that challenging. If you have above average intelligence, don't skip and study for exams, it's not hard to pull off mid 90's, especially in the less subjective courses like math/science.
