Yes, "is" is a better choice and does not change the meaning.
The phrase "great lengths" means that you would do a lot to reinforce him.
To help you understand this sentence, try putting a comma after outstanding: "He became outstanding, as measured by standard social criteria." The phrase "as measured" means "compared to".
The term "cramming" is a slang term for hard, serious studying. Cramming means "stuffing" or "filling". You are cramming your brain full of information.
