Would bystanders get better grades if bullying did not happen in the classroom any longer? Why?

When you say bystanders, do you mean victims?

You should read that article in TIME on bullying. I believe it's in this week's edition. (The cover features TIME 100 People.)

I'm pretty sure he meant this:

...kids are frequently as distressed by witnessing bullying as by being bullied.

We've all been through high school, right? I do remember feeling rather tense after seeing others being bullied. Naturally, I've also been a victim of it myself. Having others being bullied won't directly cause students to fail all their classes, but it does add to the already stressful and difficult situation that is high school, and that isn't a very good environement for learning.
