Loosely, US federal law, and the laws of the fifty US states provide for free public education and free access to education. What that means is that if you live in the US, you or your child may attend the public schools of the district within which you live.

The exception in many cases--and this is being challenged in the US Supreme Court--illegal or undocumented aliens and their children have been effectively barred from free public education in some states. The most problematic among these currently is the state of Alabama, which requires multiple pieces of identification that most natural born citizens would be hard pressed to provide if required. (This establishes a form of defacto segregation, which--again--is being reviewed by the Supreme Court.)
