If you're paying $20k for daycare and there's not really a free option, that's just what you have to do.
If you're paying $20k for private school, and there's a free option (public school) - you obviously have a healthy amount of disposable income.

The link says the average for HS is $15.6k; if that's a mathematical mean, that's going to be driven up by a handful of very expensive schools.

Or make frugal choices elsewhere, or receive scholarships/ financial aid, likely both.
Yes, that's right, parents can drive an older car and skip buying a bigger TV and cook at home and save money in all kinds of ways, and private schools offer scholarships and financial aid to advance missions of service.
Most people are already doing that and still can't spend $20k to send their children to a non-"garbage" school.
