Absurd absence of quality public schools - U Cs and U Mich, among other top public schools, are meritocracies and do not give preference to legacies … many public schools in lists of most cited US universities … They are often at the cutting edge of STEM research …
Also complete absence of US military academies, theee of which rank in top 5 in terms of STEM innovation and job generation.

Medical Nobel laureates overwhelmingly from public universities and institutions both in US and around world.
Chemistry, physics and economic laureates also draw heavily from public universities around world.

The Nobel Prize is five separate prizes that, according to Sir Alfred Nobel's will of 1895, are awarded to ”those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind.”
Given how heavily Nobel prize winners in science hail from public universities - in contrast to the WSJ rankings that totally ignores public schools - There is a big chasm between private prestige and public goods.
