I think we just have to let it ride for now.
In Victoria the very expensive private schools used to call themselves "public schools" a la Pommgolia, but it's mercifully died out now. |

no idea what to do with this one. as it's basically just used as a proper noun in the names of universities nowadays, "private school" is probably fine as a first estimate, at least in my mind (as per kanjigen). the problem is that british and american ideas of "public school" and "private school" are quite different.
the british notions make no sense to me. see for example here, where they define a "public school" as an "exclusive fee-paying private independent school":

I feel like "private school" isn't necessarily the best
