It only being a privilege of the rich is precisely the problem with school vouchers. Vouchers don't let poor students go to good private schools; they let good private schools charge more because the state is subsidizing part of the tuition.

I grew up certified poor (rent control, foodstamps, hand me down clothes, donation program christmas gifts, the works) and was able to attend elite private schools because of programs like this.

Grew up with plenty of other poor kids going to those schools too.
