It means "school paid for by taxes", which, as a European is probably the sort of school you attended
Private school is a school you have to pay to attend

In the UK it means a type of (established, large, non-profit) what Americans call a private school. We call the latter in general independent schools.
In the rest of the world "public school" vs "private school" is pretty clear, I think you guys in UK are the only one to call private schools "public school" and public schools "state school".
