The charter movement appears to be one of several reasons for the decline. Grace Christian is affiliated with Grace Chapel, which tends to attract blue-collar congregants, Bell said. Bell and other heads of schools losing enrollment are hoping that a state school-donation tax credit will provide more scholarships.

People value that.
Scholarshiops are sometimes available. Charter schools, which are publicly funded, are free, though some raise funds to make ends meet. Private schools may limit enrollment through an admissions procedure, tuition or both. Private schools need not provide any form of special education, though a few Tucson private schools cater to children with special needs. Charters must offer special-education services.
