English translation:Secular Public School
Explanation:
The literal translation is "State School". However, the context requires the explanation that it is a "secular" as opposed to "religious" public school, sponsored by the state. Mamalachti Dati is a State (i.e. public) Religious School. There are also Atzma'i (independent private) religious schools.

State School


Explanation:
It is not the same as State Religious - these are two of the four educational "streams" in Israel. And just "mamlachti" means secular.
