In Texas, what you said is right Don. The public schools are overseen by the University Interscholastic League (UIL) while the private schools athletics are governed by the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools, or TAPPS. As a result, the private schools are not held to the same restrictions that public schools are.
However, TAPPS has tried to structure themselves similar to UIL, including the fact that they recognize a school's size and categorize it as 1A through 5A. I am sure that there are many other similarities as well.
