Do private schools have it easier than normal publics?

most private schools are not academically elite

Most public schools are even less so. Wouldn’t you agree? Sometimes I find it difficult to get some people understand that the landscape of public vs private schools is a miniature of the landscape of public vs private colleges. Certainly, there are elite ones in both categories but most others are not. Most people attend public schools/colleges (only 16% of college students attend private colleges, and 10% of k-12 students private schools) and that won’t change any time soon, but somehow it’s OK to talk about private college but private school seems a “difficult” topic. It’s puzzling.
