The US is a pretty large place, if you grew up in one of the top states for education (MA, CT, NJ) you likely have had a much different experience than if you’ve grown up in like Louisiana or Alabama. The top states are actually fairly comparable to lots of European education. Hence why the snobbery mentioned about European below is also often applied to many people/places from the Northeast.
