Sure, I'm being hyperbolic here, but politically speaking public schools have been equated with "the left" and private schools have been equated with "the right." Why would anyone who isn't an ultra liberal send his kids to public school? Republicans have been the champions of charter schools for the past 15+ years, haven't they?
Do you have any inkling of what it costs to send a kid to private school? It is simply beyond the means for a great many parents who live paycheck to paycheck. Heck, it's more than a lot of people even make. Sure, it would be nice to be able to send your kid to a school that you like, and that performs well on assessments regarding educating kids. That's why Trump was pushing for school vouchers, so parents could choose where they wanted to send their kids. Of course, the left and the Teachers Unions made sure that parents did not get that choice.
