There is no one right answer to this question.
If my daughter and family still lived where we all used to live in California, I'd be helping put those kids into private schools. Where we live now, though, I believe the public schools are fine. For a family who lives way up in the mountains of, say, very northern California, homeschooling programs are often their only option.
So ... you have to investigate each school and district; you have to consider geography; you have to consider individuals.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer.
Is it better for children to use homeschooling programs such as K12 and Kestone rather then go to public schools?

Thatt I understand but without considering the geography, like the problems public schol going children may face like bullying or homeschooling children may face such as less socialization, based on that?
I'm totally against home schooling for most students.
My husband and I were both high school teachers, covering math, biology, chemistry, English, and social studies when our kids were in school. There's no way we could have competently taught our own kids without access to labs, other teachers and students, and other subjects. People need to get along together and deal with bullying and unfair individuals in order to make their way in the world.

Sometimes its not easy to deal with bullying which is why homeschooling may be better

Ms. Sue: Did you just imply what I think you were implying? Never mind that I am a former homeschooler who is now doing fine for himself. Unless a heaven on earth utopian scenario becomes reality, there will be always be some people who find themselves unable to get along with certain other people. What I am quibbling with is your deal with it/life is not fair attitude. Bullying can take many forms. In the state of Vermont, a judge by the name of Edward Cashman recently told a victim in open court that she "had experienced one of the harsh realities of life." Certainly, you would never be the type of person who would improperly assign fault by blaming the victim?!
