I believe that private schools are usually more costly and charter schools slightly more costly than public schools, but that parochial schools are much, much less costly, like 1/2 to 1/3 of the average public school cost per student. I'll hunt around half-heartedly for some cite, but that's my recollection of the data I've seen in the last few years. And it's not entirely surprising - free nuns, after all.
