Funding note: Congregation-run schools tend to price tuition close to the state award, which is why they dominate East Tampa, Brandon and Plant City.
Schools in this section are religious schools whose registered name identifies a church, ministry, congregation or parish. Church-run schools without that wording appear under Christian Schools.
