Literally every other country in the world has a fully public education that does just fine.

I think the only well known non-US private school system (off the top of my head) are UK commonwealth secondary boarding schools, and those schools are more well known for their abuse than their academic strength.

Pretty much any other country (for example, France, Japan, China, etc) are generally built on a system of publicly funded schools

Finland as well, we don't basically have private or boarding schools at all.

A good indicator whether public schools are good enough is this - the moment private schools can't compete, then public schools are good enough.

Private for-profit schools can use their money to get political influence and reduce public school funding in order to further its economic advantage.

All the countries you listed spend way less per student than the US.
