The 14-year-old student arrived at Ayser Calık Secondary School in the southern province of Kahramanmaras armed with five guns and seven magazines in his backpack, local governor Mukerrem Unluer said.
The guns are thought to belong to the teenager's father, who is a retired police officer.
The gunman, who was an eighth-grade student at the school, was killed, although it is unclear whether he was killed by police or his death was self-inflicted.
The motive for the shooting, which took place across two classrooms, is not yet known.
It comes just one day after 16 people were injured when a former student opened fire at a high school in the nearby Sanliurfa province, before taking his own life.

Four of the injured are said to be undergoing surgery.
Unluer reportedly told reporters at the scene that one of those killed was a teacher at the school and that the gunman took his own life after the incident, according to CNN.
There has been no official confirmation of the identities of those killed or further details about the attacker.
"The sound of gunfire was very intense," a reporter for Turkish broadcaster NTV said.
Footage from the scene showed crowds of people in the courtyard of the school.
