Um, you know that IEP is worth nada in private? Unless you are talking about a school that, say, specializes in kids with LDs, you get fewer services in private. And many folks don’t want to pull their kids from a mainstream school.

They are awful academically. Across the board. Math departments are usually good but English and science is across the board bad. They don’t read the assigned writing!
