There are occasionally private schools that cater specifically to gifted children but they area somewhat rare.
Many public schools have gifted programs to identify and foster the education of gifted students but they are generally being cut in most places and outright banned in some states.

It’s pretty easy to make a 5 second google search rather than assume anything you don’t want to hear is fake and declare to everyone that you have zero critical thinking skills.
The bottom line is schools can’t get the average student to even the most basic standards with the current situation. Spending more money on a hand full of kids that aren’t tanking their metrics isn’t worth it when no amount of funding can get the rest of the students over the intended finish line. That’s all before you get pushback from groups complaining about the equity aspect of performance based advanced education.
