The right to an education is written into state constitutions (Old Dad, remember that the federal government doesn't have the last word on rights). For example, the California Constitution is pretty specific:

Quote
SEC. 5. The Legislature shall provide for a system of common schools by which a free school shall be kept up and supported in each district at least six months in every year, after the first year in which a school has been established.
