There are some pupils who are very disruptive, such as Delinquents; others are just that dumb, and look as if they were moved up to the benefit of the age since they don't seem to have learnt something. The solution: throw them in the Dustbin School until they are past the age of mandatory schooling! One type of such schools was the borstals, where juvenile offenders were locked in until their majority. In a smaller scale, some schools may choose to put their less-performing and/or most disruptive pupils in a Dustbin Class. This can be the setting for a history involving a disruptive pupil trying to get better or simply survive, or for a teacher assigned here because of his lack of experience or as part of an informal punishment; a Sadist Teacher may be assigned these classes. Often the setting of a Save Our Students plot. Even though some educational institutions have been charged with being this trope, please be careful when entering real life examples. See also Reassigned to Antarctica, Non-Giving-Up School Guy and Boarding School of Horrors; Military School and Sucky School may be involved. Someone Expelled from Every Other School might end up here. Examples |

Chris from Everybody Hates Chris has to go to all-white schools outside his neighborhood because the schools right there, Lamont Sanford Junior High and Marla Gibbs High are stated by his mother to be full of drop-outs and delinquents (though we never see these schools on-screen). | |

Metropolitan Sainotama Girls' High School in Wasteful Days of High School Girls is noted to be academically mediocre; Majime once noted "its standard score ranking is only as high as the intelligence level of a four-year old is." Robo and Majime are actually too good for this school and are known to be here under rather unusual circumstances—-in Robo's case, defying Intelligence Equals Isolation as her Childhood Friends are there, and in Majime's case, falling seriously ill during high school admission exams. | |

In Assassination Classroom, it turns out the protagonists' class is where all the problem students are dumped so the other students can feel better about themselves and work hard to avoid going there. When they actually get better at schoolwork the school staff actively keeps them down and publicly humiliates them to maintain the status-quo (it takes the moon-destroying alien teacher reminding them it would be a Shame If Something Happened to tone it down). | |

Robin (1993): Brentwood Academy (the school Jack forcibly transfers Tim to after getting remarried) acts as a school for the problem children of the rich, who have been expelled from the other schools around or are unable to pass the entrance exams for more prestigious high schools. One of his roommates was a drunk, and another classmate had an incredibly violent anger issue that got him expelled from previous schools for hurting his classmates. Tim ends up there because of the point in the school year at which his dad forced him to change schools. | |

The very first page of Torako, Anmari Kowashicha Dame da yo describes its school, Ooaoi Private Academy, as a school that gathers delinquents from all over the country. The students are rowdy, violent, and even the teachers start their classes by saying "Sit down, fuckers". The story opens with the incoming transfer of Aiko Torasawa, the titular Torako, whose legend of destruction precedes her. The delinquents' attempts to pick on or attack her fall flat due to her being a Lethal Klutz with Super-Strength who largely shrugs off whatever anyone tries to do and hammers others down without even meaning to. | |

Hinamatsuri moves onto one of these schools in Hina's teenage years. The only school she can afford to attend with her nonexistent grades is Teihen High School, a place whose name literally translates to "Poor School". You can get in without even writing anything on the entrance exam, everyone is some form of slacker, delinquent, or truant, and the only form of authority we see in the school is only marginally better. | |

Senran Kagura: In a variant, the evil shinobi school Hebijo has a motto of "where good favors the few, evil accepts all". Thus those who enroll in Hebijo are all delinquents, psychos, sometimes random hobos and outcasts from other schools. To make it up with the general lack of talent they all have, the school employs Training from Hell. | |

In GTO: The Early Years, the protagonists are Held Back in School and assigned to the "problem student" class, headed by the Sadist Teacher Yoko Minamino. In the prequel Bad Company, we see that their entire middle school (or previous high school; the translation is unclear) was like this, with nearly every male student being a delinquent. In the sequel series Great Teacher Onizuka, Eikichi himself becomes the homeroom teacher to a class who believe it's their sole mission to run any teacher they're given right out of town.note The last two teachers that they had attempted to commit suicide, and a third disappeared from the face of the Earth, just to give you an idea of how serious these kids are. |

Hidden Talents is set in Edgeville Alternative School, which is widely known to be the end of the line for students that no other school wants to deal with. It's also the end of the line for a lot of lackluster teachers. The student protagonist eventually helps save it from closure by speaking frankly to the school board about its problems, but also defending its ability to help students with nowhere else to go. | |

The Fruit of Grisaia has the brand new Mihama Academy serving this role for students who unable to consistently function long-term in society due to their own emotional/mental issues or due to public backlash from their original hometowns that would cause detrimental effects to themselves or others in a normal school. The academy comes complete with its own dormitory to serve as a home for those students while keeping them closely watched. This example is a slightly lighter one though as well-behaved students are permitted to roam out of the academy to buy their own groceries, get a job or participate in village events; thus the academy operates similar to a half-way house for those under probation. | |

In the Love Live! Sunshine!! movie, after Aqours failed to save their school in the series and the movie has the Uranohoshi students transferred to another school out of town, they end up in a dumpy building that hasn't been used in years because the new school's administration doesn't believe that a bunch of small-town students would be able to compete with city kids at anything. Aqours having won the last Love Live doesn't even convince them, despite school idols being a certified phenomenon at this point, and one of the objects of the film is to convince them that they're still as good or better than their city counterparts. | |
