Where are sqibs schooled?

Karen:"What I was wondering is, where are the Wizarding children who 
turn out to be squibs educated?  Are they educated at all and if so, 
what are they taught?  I'm asking because it seems that the curriculum 
at Hogwarts is designed to teach those with magical ability."

Good point, but there's a lot of holes in our knowledge of education 
in the wizard world. We've been told by JKR that Hogwarts is the only 
magical school in the UK, yet estimates of the number of students 
ranges from 300-1000. My daughters' elementary school has 460 
students; it's one of eleven such schools in a town of 60,000 people. 
Work it out, the wizarding population is small, small, small.

If Hogwarts wasn't the only magical school, the problem would go away, 
but we've seen no evidence of it, and JKR denied it.

Karen:" Also, does anyone have any idea what the rate for sqib births 
are in comparison to births of children with magical ability? Are 
sqibs rare or fairly commonplace?"

They are commonplace enough that there's a business ("Kwikspell") that 
caters to their desire to fit in to the rest of wizard society.  And 
what are  Stan Shunpike and Ernie Prang from the Knight Bus? Squibs or 
something else? Can you picture them as Hogwarts students? I take a 
"squib" as someone born into the wizarding world with *no* magical 
ability, someone who *should* have had magical ability but didn't.
