Depends on the state, but in my state, if a child gets expelled from public school for behavior issues, the parents must either homeschool or find a private school that will accept that child. I understand that in some states, the state must provide a home tutor.
I have had students who were given the choice of attending school or going to jail for whatever their crimes were (because of confidentiality, we weren't told)...on the whole most were disruptive and didn't do their work. One of those in my class ended the year with a 4 (yes, one digit) average...I always thought the judge should require them to go to school and pass, or else teach that class himself.

And,,,,when these “push-outs” do horrible that conveniently gives true homeschoolers a black eye. I bet the bean counters count the achievement of the “push-outs” in with the true homeschoolers.
I have personally known a few “push outs”. Their parents attended our church. ( Their big hairy kids didn’t of course.)

And?.....What about the First Amendment HUMAN Right for others not to be forced to associate with these court ordered government school criminals?
Oh yeah! I forgot! ( silly me!) Some parents can afford to **ransom** their kids from having to associate with school criminals. They can pay extra for private and home schooling!
