Easy to find, but no easy to afford. Not impossible, but very tough. Their cost model needs to change (Wishful thinking).

Also, the biggest problem is high school.

There is no reason why Christian schools can’t incorporate training students to be self studiers, so that the schools themselves only have to handle qualifying students and administrating final tests, etc.

It can be pricey, but... I did a comparative study of the Lutheran religious schools in my state and found the cost of educating member and non-member children ranged considerably. But the priority throughout was kept on the education and not the cost. Frequently the cost can be managed through volunteerism. Consistently the parents found their efforts to provide religious education "blessed" and after the grade school years have passed, looking back, the cost was not prohibitive. I do believe God takes care of those making an effort to take care of His children.

"Easy to find, but no easy to afford."

Or there is the homeschool route - again, though: easy to find (you're living in it), but not easy to afford (get zero deductions for curriculum and co-ops).

If you aren’t mentally stuck in an institutional school model, providing an education to your children has NEVER been easier or less expensive.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Why is high school a problem?

My homeschoolers went to college at the ages of 13, 12, and 13 and did fine. Yes, our home had no chemistry or biology labs but this was **easily** resolved at the community college. They took science courses for arts majors and then went on to take science courses for science majors. No problem.
