You don't know your history. A hundred years ago, most well-to-do parents sent their kids to private academics. Once the High school was invented and their quality become acceptable, more and more parents began to send their kids to public high schools rather than DAY academies. Yes, parents pay property taxes, but most of them are getting a bargin. Consequently they don't put pressure on the pols and they sit on school boards and give the school superintendents what they want.
