Filch worked there, he didn't go to school there.
From her official website...
Section: Extra Stuff
SQUIBS
I have been asked all sorts of questions about Squibs since I first introduced the concept in ‘Chamber of Secrets’. A Squib is almost the opposite of a Muggle-born wizard: he or she is a non-magical person born to at least one magical parent. Squibs are rare; magic is a dominant and resilient gene.
Squibs would not be able to attend Hogwarts as students. They are often doomed to a rather sad kind of half-life (yes, you should be feeling sorry for Filch), as their parentage often means that they will be exposed to, if not immersed in, the wizarding community, but can never truly join it. Sometimes they find a way to fit in; Filch has carved himself a niche at Hogwarts and Arabella Figg operates as Dumbledore’s liaison between the magical and Muggle worlds. Neither of these characters can perform magic (Filch’s Kwikspell course never worked), but they still function within the wizarding world because they have access to certain magical objects and creatures that can help them (Arabella Figg does a roaring trade in cross-bred cats and Kneazles, and if you don‘t know what a Kneazle is yet, shame on you). Incidentally, Arabella Figg never saw the Dementors that attacked Harry and Dudley, but she had enough magical knowledge to identify correctly the sensations they created in the alleyway.

sadly, yes
I was mad at him when he went to hurt Fred and George... but he made amends for it later on when he had remorse for his behavior when he was forced to toss the kids over the swamp.

I always felt sorry for him, and I believe whole-heartedly in the reform of squib rights and the allowance for allowing squibs to be schooled in the wizarding world with special tools for adaptation.

Looks like this horse has been beaten...
I kind of felt sorry for Filch too... it was so obvious that he wanted to be part of the magical world.
Oh well. |

my opinion on squibs : "they should go to special classes for their first year, if no sign of magic, they should be sent home. If magic shown, start their first year at school with all the regular classes."

home? most of them get outcatsed.. even their families dont accept them... i dont know may be now a days thinking has changed..still families usually dont let others know of the existence of squibs in their family...
so... i belive its always better for quibs to start a new life in muggle word.. but famlies should not abandon them... but yes the squibs must learn to be independednt enough to survive with out their families too... and also the way muggles do...
