There's another bias in that kids with educated parents in public school will also have higher grades on average than the average public school kid. I don't know how much that might affect conclusions. It doesn't seem necessary to make the point.

I have no doubt that a private tutor can outperform a public school, but it takes a number of factors, and it's more difficult to outperform public school combined with that same personal, educated tutor.
