I don't know about y'all, but my yearly property taxes (which are on the high side for where I live) wouldn't cover the tuition for even one child in a good (or even mediocre) private school in this area...

Maybe, but it would just be you paying for it just as you aren’t the only one paying for it now. In my area, the total cost (and I think this is an underestimate) for a public school education is something like $9,000 a year. A Catholic high school in the area announced that it will be doing it for only $6,100 next year. The parents at that Catholic school pay less than $3,000 tuition as well. The parishes kick in the rest. These are good schools too. Private schools can be much cheaper than public schools.
