It’s probably like mutual funds vs stock picking. some parents will do better and some will do worse. the child gains the interest money- if the parent is a bad stock then it’s bad in isolation… schools are predictably mediocre but public/visible. if the parent’s decision is driven by their own schooling experience and/or desire to change an aspect of society then i think it’s questionable to make the child an instrument of that.
