Seeing that I've experienced all three of them throughout my life, I feel very qualified to speak on the matter. Each has its own benefits and disadvantages. I'd say that the benefit of public school is simply that it's fun, free and can sometimes offer great extra-activities like sports that many students enjoy. Disadvantages are that many of them are overpopulated and the teachers are either overwhelmed or underqualified to teach, and thus, the value of education might not be as good. Private school is good because they are oftentimes smaller and thus the teachers can offer you more indepth education, and you can develop more closer friendships with other students. Disadvantages are that Private schools may not offer as much fun activities like sports, since they have less students and less money, and that they can sometimes be a cultic breeding ground for the owners to try to force a religion or political idealogy onto you. Homeschooling is good because of the flexibility and independence it teaches you, which is useful when it comes to managing a schedule and learning about adult life, the downside is that you don't get to socialize as much and many parents take advantage of homeschooling and use it so that their homeschooled child can babysit their other children.
