Late to post, and glad to see the excellent info already posted.
We raised our kids in CV and RSF, and chose to send them to private schools (although I’d prefer not to comment on which) so that is another option you might consider. They are now out of college and doing well. Otoh, we’ve known many kids who have done extremely well going the public school route.
The stats indicate that less than 50% of recent college grads achieve their desired career goals, so, even though we all try to make the best decisions possible when it comes to our children, clearly, they still face challenges beyond academia.
