As a graduate of a public high-school and public university, I take 
offense to this.  Perhaps you're referring to your local state, but I 
really dislike sweeping generalizations like this.

Perhaps not all state-run/public schools are "decent", but the local-to-
me Catholic school really was just known for their athletic programs, 
and did a relatively poor job at basic education.  Just ask my brother 
that went there. :)
