The Episcopal Church in the United State of America maintains approximately 1200 schools, of which about 50 are secondary schools [REF] and which educate about 2% of all students in private schools or 0.22% (115,000 students) of the school population in the United States [REF].
Some Christian schools, especially those sponsored by fundamentalist groups, do not accept government funding and subsidies because they can put their school (and potentially their church) operations under more government scrutiny and legislation, which can lead to the government dictating their school's operation.
