Me:
Somehow, but no law says they must attend a school, even though 
that's most common manner to achieve the education. The children can 
i.e. take exams during vacations to show the amount of their 
education. Some Muggles go abroad for a year and do the same sort of 
thing... It's just a matter of arrangement, really.

Hermione, for one, may have taken all possible Muggle exams, which 
she couldn't do if she'd had have to attend a Muggle school, so 
there's even a good *reason* for her to study on her own, because she 
learns *more* that way.

Harry was in elementary Muggle school with Dudley(which he has 
recordedly left), he has glasses, and so far as we know, no other 
Muggle record has him in it! And, as Dursleys lie to those who know 
of Harry, not many do - or Harry's to pretend he doesn't exist... 
Dursleys pretend that Harry doesn't exist to the world...
