it would be good to show some statistics/sources for that. there are certainly many underfunded schools that perform spectacularly, but there are also similar numbers of well-funded schools that do do well.
funding alone wont help provide good education. a lot of it has to do with the community the school is based in, and their views and approach to education and how much they see its worth their time. high achieving districts tend to have a high concentration of parents who value education highly and push their children to do better. having more funding helps those schools provide better education to their students.
and it still doesn't explain how its an incentive. its like telling a child "you cannot eat candy from now on" and consider it an incentive for them to do better in their little league team without promising any return of such privilege if they do well.

Arizona Governor Doug Ducey had the same idea and approved stuffloads of cuts in state education spending a couple years ago. I went to one of the best high schools in the state and we still had to fire teachers and cut programs as a result.
