State Government
A private school will often charge a yearly tuition fee as a result of not being administered by any form of government. Public schools are financially supported by the government thus do not charge such a fee.
It is a School administrative unit which is the local government forum or school board that are in charge of the operation of the public school system.
Let's define our terms a little better. Public schools are those that are, ultimately, run by "the government" (in the US, by a state government). They get money from the state to operate (they also charge fees, and usually out-of-state students are charged extra). Private schools are those run by some organization other than the government. They usually charge higher fees, but don't charge out-of-state students extra. The University of Phoenix is a private school with an added twist: it's actually run for profit (all public schools, and many private schools, just try to break even).
Jackie Chan attended the Nan Hua Primary School in Hong Kong which was a public or government school. (In some countries 'public school' means 'private')
In the US public schools are paid for by taxes and therefore do not charge fees.

school board
No, Harry did no attend public school. A public school in the UK (which is where the books are set) is a school that the pupils have payed to attend. A state school is a school funded by the government. As Harry does not pay to attend Hogwarts we can presume is funded by the Ministry of Magic. So by UK definition it is a state school.
