Around 500 children and teachers were believed to be inside, with many students taking exams at the time.
An undisclosed number of teachers and pupils were held hostage by the Tehreek-e-Taliban militants before they were killed by the army.
"Sixth terrorist killed in last block," Major General Asim Bajwa tweeted. "IEDs (bombs) planted by terrorists hamper speed of clearance."
He said 11 staff members were rescued from the building.
Police struggled to hold back distraught parents trying to break past a cordon and get to the school as loud explosions went off inside.
"My son was in uniform in the morning. He is in a casket now," wailed one parent, Tahir Ali, as he came to the hospital to collect the body of his 14-year-old son Abdullah. "My son was my dream. My dream has been killed."
