state school
Government-funded institution
A state school is a school funded and administered by the government rather than privately.
In British English, state school covers all publicly funded schools from primary through secondary.
In American English, the term typically refers to public universities: She went to a state school to save on tuition.
The phrase implies accessibility and lower cost compared to private institutions.
