Any school that can turn kids away who don't "fit" their mould are not public schools. They selectively admit students who will succeed and cater to school shopping parents who have the time, resources, ability, etc., to seek them out and set their children up to get in.

How do you feel about Francosud in Alberta. They are a public school board across Alberta but they have guidelines for admission and students/families are turned away from this public system if they don't meet those.
The guidelines include:
To be eligible for entitlement status , you must meet one of the following three criteria:
1. Canadian citizen whose first language learned and still understood is French; OR
2. Canadian citizen who received primary education in French in Canada , OR
3. Canadian citizen whose child has received or is receiving primary or secondary education in French as a first language in Canada.
For Special cases:
A temporary or permanent resident whose child has received or is receiving instruction, at the primary or secondary level , in French as a first language in Canada , has the right to have all of his or her children educated in a FrancoSud school, at the primary and secondary levels.
And there are 5 exceptional case situations which you can read here:
