Now Me:

I don't have 100% prove but I see as highly likely that he did. We 
know that he was/is a more than an average wizard talent wise - he 
couldn't have done the unforgivable curses otherwise. I don't think 
it's in doubt that he did have a wizarding education. Of course 
Hogwarts isn't the only Wizarding School.
However as Sirius said in GOF anything that could ruin Crouch Seniors 
reputation had to go. Also this goes the other way round that 
anything that would help his reputation would be done. 
I believe that Crouch would not have sent his son to a foreign school 
because it would seem as though he was shunning the UK wizarding 
teaching establishment - now this doesn't make political sense. It 
makes a lot more political and reputation building sense to send your 
son to the 'local' wizarding school and since Hogwarts is the only 
Wizarding school in the UK (or it certainly seems to be) this is 
where I believe Crouch Senior would send his son - regardless of 
whether it was the best place school or not.
