I'd argue they're pretty rivalrous too. Class size really does make a difference
I think that's debatable, within certain class size ranges, but then education would just be a normal good.
Similar to your point about imperfect public goods, it's probably better to say that schools are like a club good.

I don't think class size matters here,but the quality of education kids receive matters. In private schools for a teacher to keep his or her job,kids should perform well,but in public schools!?whether they perform well or not,teachers will still get their pay.

That's true but not really pertinent to whether it's rivalrous or not.
