"It was a very fraught situation… we are very lucky no one was killed, so the bullets went close so it's a terrible, terrible thing and it could have been so much worse," WA Premier Mark McGowan said.
Police allegedly found more than 60 rounds of ammunition and two long-armed rifles inside a black four-wheel drive found at the school.
The teen has been charged with driving without authority, possessing a firearm and ammunition without a licence, discharging a firearm in a manner to cause fear, possessing a prohibited weapon and acting unlawfully with intent to harm.
He will appear before the Perth Children's Court on Friday.
