Most catholic schools are much like state schools except for the religion. The issue is diverting money from state schools weakens the system and it’s academic ability. Elite schools on the other hand are well able to look after themselves.
I would also argue private schools, including catholic schools, focus on academics more than public schools. Yes, some money is diverted from public schools, but the associated cost is also diverted.
Technically, all they are doing is redirecting some of the money they pay into the public system, which they are not using, into the private system.

Technically that’s not true at all.
How so? It costs money to have a child in school, that’s why there is tuition. If you remove the child, that’s less cost.
