No, it is a state branch. The city decides how it will district it's local public schools, and then elections are held in each school district for voters to elect who will be on the school board. The local school boards then report to their state's department of education, and the state's department reports to the Department of Education in Washington, D.C. Though it may seem like it's a branch of the federal government, it's only the federal funding that come from D.C. It is up to the state's to determine their standards and handles where the federal funding and state funding will go. This is why there is no national standard of education, only the No Child Left Behind act that determines the amount of federal funding given out.

Which branch of government provides for the local government?
Local governments have a lot of branches. They have judicial (courts), executive (mayors), and legislative (board/council) branches just like the federal government, and then they have many departments that mirror the federal agencies. Many local governments will have a Power Authority or a Department of Transportation, which technically could be called executive as they implement regulations, but it's easiest to think of them as separate agencies responsible for a set of duties. Other agencies deal with public safety, social services, and education, so there's quite a variety.
