I can speak with more authority on church schools in the UK as I taught in one for over 22 years but if you are not in the UK then most of what I have to say is universal anyway.
In the UK there are three levels of being a 'church school'. Firstly there are schools that regard themselves as 'church schools' as they maintain a Christian ethos despite the fact that they may not have any official link with a church or denomination.
Secondly, there are what are called 'Voluntary Controlled Schools'. In these schools there is a closer and official link with a particular denomination (eg Church of England or Roman Catholic Church) meaning that some of the governing body of the school is appointed by the church and a particular ethos is not only encouraged but expected. The local priest or vicar will be a governor of the school and the church will have a large say in the curriculum of the school and in the appointment of governors and staff.
Thirdly, there are what are called 'Voluntary Aided Schools'. In these schools the denomination actually owns the school building. If the school is also a state school, the teachers are paid by the locval authority/government, but are employed by the school governors and not by the local authorities. There is a very close and official link with a particular denomination (eg Church of England or Roman Catholic Church) meaning that most of the governing body of the school is appointed by the church and a particular ethos is not only encouraged but is vital in the Christian ethos of the school. The local priest or vicar will be a governor of the school, as will many local clergy and the church will have a large say in the curriculum of the school and in the appointment of governors and staff. Even if the school is a state school (as opposed to an independent school) the governors can demand an admission policy (eg only children of a particular denomination can attend the school) if they so wish without state intervention.
In the UK Church schools are usually very popular. The reason for this is that most parents whose children attend such schools feel them save and loving establishments where children can mature socially and spiritually as well as academically, good on discipline, have a good ethos and usually produce good academic results.

Under the United States constitution, there is separation of Church and state.
