The vast majority of American kids go to public schools. So, I don't see where the impoliteness would be coming from. A public school is a public school. It's up to the students and teachers themselves to make their school reputable, not the price of admission.
If it's a problem here, then it's worse in the Philippines where a lot of kids attend private schools and elitist attitudes exist in a much larger scale.
