I think this is probably correct. I remember reading a paper that showed if you take into account the ability of their intake then private schools don't have much of an advantage over state education.

Private schools probably have even more of an incentive than public schools to optimize for meeting entrance requirements for universities over optimizing for preparing for life.
I disagree. People have been banging on this drum for so long over the course of at least a century and even tried to put their money where there mouth is only to end up with no meaningful difference.
Schools simply don't have as big of an impact as people think they do. It really is up to the parents and the student.
