I've read a lot of reports about charter schools. I'm not impressed for
a lot of reasons, including the facts that they tend to cherry pick
their students, they don't have to deal with "difficult" students, there
have been interesting shenanigans with standardized testing, they many
times are church-related, and they suck resources away from the public
school

I don't know about charter schools, but the parochial schools in my
area don't receive a dime from the govt. The parents pay the tuition
fees.

Our youngest went to a parochial high school.
We paid the tuition for his school but also paid taxes to support the
public school system.



There are church-run charter schools and parochial schools all over the
country that receive direct funding from the public or accept
(gratefully) vouchers from the public school system. We had
church-related schools when I was growing up, but they didn't receive
direct public funding or vouchers.
