Why aren't there more K-12 schools?

Just curious. I see K-8 schools, K-5 and 6-8, and 9-12. I've also heard of 7-12.

However, the only K-12 schools around me are private schools. Why is that?

One benefit I see is that younger students will be exposed to more opportunities to challenge themselves and older students would be exposed to mentorship opportunities/have the expectation of setting an example for younger students (and will likely be more behaved as a result).
