So can we do anything about tuition paid for private high school or elementary school?

Dear Gene,
You mean, besides finding a good school?
What can you do to get tax breaks for pre-college education that is often expensive in the private sector?

There is something that let’s you pay for elementary and high-school costs.

What is it?
Education Credits are only for post-secondary education.

So are IRA draws

Aha! Here it is! You can draw money from a Coverdell IRA for elementary or secondary education (kindergarten through grade 12),

The only problem is – you can put so little money into those accounts, it’s hard to earn enough to be worthwhile to use the accounts for elementary and high-school education.
