The alternative is generally called specialization or streamed education. In Europe they'd identify the kids and put them in an appropriate school. That being a Renfrew type school within the public system. Same for high schools. Trade stream goes to this school. University stream goes here. It's all public meaning government funded, all the schools just aren't identical.
So yes, its entirely possible for public schools to become specialized. It's a choice we made decades ago to not do that.

There are specialized schools in Alberta. My kid student teaches at one. Years ago, in my former life I subbed at another.
