So called Catholic schools are nothing more than ‘escapes’ for liberal parents who don’t want their kids in the public schools. Most of these parents don’t give a hoot about Catholicism or the faith. The true Catholics are in the minority there and more and more resort to homeschooling.

Your post sums it up very succinctly. Catholic schools are becoming an option for secular parents who want a better alternative to dumbed-down public schools.

There are also “private” Catholic schools here and there that are not subject to bishops and are much more orthodox and the academics are a lot better, too.
