FWIW...I don't really know much about the funding, I always got the sense they got money from the Church, but I have no idea. What I do know is that when I was growing up is the Catholic schools were *MUCH* nicer than the public schools I saw in London...so this does not surprise me.
When you buy a house and start paying property taxes you pick which school board your want to support.
Having bought a house, I do know that. But it doesn't really matter, because people will fund the board their children will attend. Unless there is a high propensity for childless people to fund the Catholic board for some reason (which seems unlikely given the Catholic view on children).
That doesn't explain their apparent higher level of funding.
Like I said, my impression was that they were getting additional funding from the church on top of what they get through the public purse.
