Most state school boards develop the requirements for education within the state. From that, the school districts determine what books shall be read, topics to be covered in each class at each grade level and choose from the suggested text books and so on. The teachers are responsible (generally) for presentation and organization of the classroom experience.

Are Catholic schools more difficult than public schools that have a harder curriculum and are well funded?

I attended Catholic schools for 12 years, and later taught public school, so I have a "both sides" viewpoint on this question. Catholic schools are more difficult than public schools largely because the expectations for the students are higher than they are in most public schools. On a grade-for-grade basis, the curriculum in Catholic schools is also more demanding, or perhaps more accurately, "farther along" for a given grade level. In both grade school and high school I had friends who left and went to public school, and later told me they were anywhere from a half a year to a full year ahead of the other kids in their grade in the public school. There are many variables, of course - some Catholic schools are better than others, and the best public schools I taught in were the equal of any Catholic school - those were public schools where the school and the parents had very high expectations for the students.
