Learning how to be a ninja is rather straightforward. Normally one learns from a personal master, or sometimes a dojo. But there are those that believe that learning the skills of a ninja can be made to look like a public school. After all, you call your ninja instructor "sensei", which means "teacher", so it's the same thing. Right?
Calling the instructor "teacher" is about the only thing ninja training has in common with schooling. There are no written tests, homework, or grades. You learn the skills and move on when you master them. Don't expect graduates of this Ninja School to act like real ninjas.
The comic Ninja High School is the Trope Namer, although it is not (usually) an example of this trope. Compare Wizarding School, especially in settings like Naruto where ninja have more in common with mages than actual ninja, and Spy School, where other types of secret agents learn their trade.

Nintama Rantarou is a rare example of a Ninja School that actually teaches actual ninjutsu techniques and has students, graduates and teachers that act like real ninjas (when they carry out their missions). It's reasonably realistic.

Naruto:
There's a three-year Ninja School in Konoha, and other ninja schools are assumed to exist in the other Hidden Villages (although little is known beyond that supposition).
We know Hidden Mist has one because Zabuza graduated early before he was even enrolled by killing off an entire graduating class of students.

Discworld: The Assassins' Guild in Ankh-Morpork would probably fit the trope as well, especially considering the inspired final test in Pyramids. On the other hand, the young gentlemen (and recently ladies) who study there receive such a well-rounded education, many upper-class families enroll their children only to withdraw just before the distasteful "final exam".

The setting of Senran Kagura is a conflict between schools of 'good' and 'bad' shinobi. The franchise mix elements from light-hearted comedic highscool anime with some of the most serious ninja tropes : basically, the characters are cute high school girls who cut down scores of other students.
The established schools appear properly accredited as high schools, as their students have legal identities and potentially the need for a legitimate high school diploma and education. The Hanzo Academy is unusual in that rather than only serving the children of traditional ninja families, it's a public high school with a few secret facilities and classes and whose shinobi students mix with the general population. Hebijo is a much more straightforward ninja school.

The Order of the Stick:
Therkla mentions that she was valedictorian at Ninja School. A flashback panel reveals that she took the title using her graduation cap.
The Order's waiter at "T.G.I. Wednesday's" in Azure City mention she's working there to put herself through ninja school.

Power Rangers Ninja Storm has at least two, the Wind and Thunder Ninja Academies. Both are attacked in the season premiere, with only a handful of students avoiding capture — the rest spend the entire series held prisoner on the Big Bad's spaceship. Despite the elemental names, the Wind Ninja Academy teaches manipulation of multiple elements — Air, Earth, and Water. The Big Bad talks about the ninja schools as if there are way more than the two, or were before he wiped them out. The Super Sentai twin, Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger, is similar.
That said, it's never clear whether the academies are full-time schools or just afterschool classes — it's impossible to tell since the regular lessons were suspended while the entire student body was missing. The Rangers did mention homework from time to time, but never said whether it was ninja homework or regular homework. We do, however, see an academy graduation, which is similar to normal school right down to getting "diplomas".

The Huntsclan Academy in American Dragon: Jake Long. Rose even showed Jake that, despite the fact the students there are trained to slay magical creatures (there's even a class named "Dragon Slaying 101"), it was still a school by starting a rumor (Jake needed a distraction).

Ron Stoppable in Kim Possible gets a special episode where he enters an exchange student program and gets sent to one of these. It partially averts this trope by being a live-in dojo secluded in the mountains, but it still has classes and school staff.
