The actual cost of educating your three kids was $39,615 ($13,205 each)

In other words, you paid $6000 per year and the government paid another $33,615 per year.

Yes, there are many that are free.
Free ones tend to be in worse-off areas because, naturally, if you have income people expect you to pay to your ability.
But just in non-Philly SEPA?
Private school is generally much cheaper K-8 than 9-12 BUT, if you were Catholic (just because it's easier to find those numbers), you could have sent them all to St Pius X in Broomall for K-8 for $7,750 and saved the government all that money.
The kids would have gotten a better education and the taxpayers a huge break, but hey! You saved like a thou per year!
Then if you wanted to continue to be considerate, you could have sent them to Cardinal O'Hara for $11,700 per year ($3900 each) for 9-12. That would have only saved government only $21,915 per year.
The joke's on you now, because as a taxpayer you will continue to spend money out of pocket every year to educate your neighbor's kids. And those little snots aren't learning shit.
