Heck, even 'good' public schools these days...   Personal note. I went to private schools through most of my life but I went to a public school the first two years of high-school. I had to immediately take senior level classes because what they were teaching was stuff I remembered from the 5th grade. My parents transferred me back to a private school just so I could get the classes I needed to get into a good college.

I went to sort-of-private schools when we lived overseas; in Mexico we went to the British school because the American school was a disaster.  When we returned to the States I ended up in all of the gifted and talented programs at school because I'd already covered a lot of the material in earlier grades.
