This misses the important question, namely: is it worthwhile?
Libertarians are such massive suckers.

In a whole lot of cases, the cost per-child for a year at a public school is greater than the tuition cost to send a child to a year at a private school.
I've already said I don't mind the idea of a voucher system though.

You realize that parochial schools are subsidized by the church itself, right? The cost of tuition isn't an accurate assessment of how much it actually costs to educate a child there.

Yup. Parochial schools are getting a lot of their funding from church tithes. The tuition cost is more or less just to make up the difference.
This is why if you're not a member of the church running the school, tuition fees are often significantly higher. My niece goes to a private Catholic school. Her tuition for the year is about $600 since my sister has been a registered member of the church for almost a decade now. Without that precious registration, it'd be over $6,000.

Yeah as someone who currently works with a church allocating their collections and who has family who actively participate in church governance such as making budget decisions, I can definitely say that affiliated private schools are heavily subsidized by the church. A few rare families have their tuition outright waived or a special collection is taken up just for them if their financial situation is dire enough.

I'm not sure about the states, I'd imagine that it varies per state, but there is often some government funding that goes to even private schools out here.
Religious schools in the US aren't eligible for any direct government funding due to the separation of church & state. They do receive some benefits such as lower taxes and are eligible to apply for various grants as educational institutions. More importantly, the vast majority of religious schools in the US are Catholic and receive substantial funding from the diocese, usually also sharing facilities with the church proper.
