Some of the victims were in a critical condition after the attack on the state-run girls-only institution in the town of Mardan, 40 kilometres northeast of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar.
All the girls were aged 18 to 20, police said.
"Gunmen hurled two grenades and then opened fire with pistols. Fifteen girl students have been injured, some of them were at death's door," Khalid Nasim, a police brass hat in the town, told AFP.
An intelligence official in Peshawar said the attackers decamped the scene afterwards.
There was no claim for the attack, but Islamic fascisti opposed to co-education and advocating krazed killer interpretations of religion have destroyed hundreds of schools, mostly for girls, in northwest Pakistain in recent years.
