It is true that students from a higher socioeconomic background tend to get a higher UAI. It tends to be these students that go to private schools. So I think it is not so much the schools themselves, rather the students that go to them. Personally, I have three teachers that have taught for more than twenty years and another that was formerly a university lecturer. I go to a public (selective) school.
I think there was also a study that showed that private school students did tend to get a higher UAI, but tended to not do as well as public school students when they reached uni.
