I think the logistics of travel and the geographic size of the United States is what trips some people up, me included. Europeans usually don't think about just how big the US is.

The wizarding world regularly uses magical methods of transportation that allow them to poof from place to place in seconds.

Magic does have rules and limitations in Harry Potter. Apparation (which I might be spelling wrong) is difficult, advanced magic that can usually only be done by children in their older teens. An 11 year old in Washington state couldn't just teleport themselves to where ever the wizarding school is without leaving some of their parts along the way. Some wizards never even bother to learn how to apperate. The Flow Network might exist in America, but that would take a lot to maintain especially for long distances. So would any sort of magic train or bus to take a large number of students to a school. Would it start in LA, stop in Chicago and finish on the east coast where I assume the wizarding school is? It all seems way more complicated than it needs to be from a story telling point of view verse just having 3 to 5 wizarding schools in America.

Of course they would not apparate. I was thinking of portkeys, actually. A network of portkeys set up to get kids to school ala what was set up for the quidditch world cup seems like the most logical and simple explanation for getting kids to school. It doesn't have to be that elaborate.
