My friends and I came up with a reason why there were so little magical schools in non-Western countries. It's because it's very in-character for the British to create one centralized school for each region without any regards to the diverse and unique cultures in each one.
So naturally you get one Asian magical school that is meant to house every Japanese, Chinese, Korean, SEA, Polynesian, and South Asian into one school.
I always liked to think that British wizards think that the rest of the world are like them, so of course they only have one school, no matter that the whole isles can fit in one state of US. My worldbuilding is that Ilvermorny is the school like Yale, not for the best but for the ones that pay the most, while the rest of the states have their own school, with the NCAA being more important than quidditch.
