The public schools in the US are nothing more than government sponsored child care centers; certainly not conducive for the majority of the students to get even a halfway decent education. I think home school is detrimental because the child has few opportunities for social interaction with others (good and bad), therefor failing to prepare the child for the realities of life after school.
That pretty much leaves only private schools, if one wants their kids to get a good education and social interaction with other children.
I sent my oldest to a Swiss private school, where she received a much better education in 3 years than she could have gotten in the US public system in 8. However, I did have her return to the US for high school (private) because, as an American who had never lived in the US, I felt it was important for her to have that experience.
Actually they do have field trip programs for home-school children. So they can all socialize with each other during these outings but its usually only with other home school children.
How would you prefer to educate your kid?
