Campbell KY was somehow 59%-34% Trump, but I'd be willing to bet that among voters who only attended public schools from grades 1-12, Clinton probably won. I'm sure this isn't the only county like this.
In 1992, the county was 50%-33% Bush, but I saw an article that said Bill Clinton won the student election at the suburban public high school. If he won the suburban school, he surely won the city schools by a lot more.
The county has a huge contingent of families in right-wing Catholic schools, and that provides the Republican margins. I once saw a census breakdown for one local suburb that showed more students in private schools than in public - even though nationwide, 90% of kids attend public schools. Plus, I did notice Hillary Clinton in 2016 won precincts where public schools seem to be more popular. (I don't know anyone in my neighborhood who actually attends private school.)
