* In ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'', 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.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Bart got threatened by Skinner with being sent to a disciplinary school run by Catholic soldiers for truancy. DependingOnTheWriter, it's also made clear (for the length of a specific episode, at least) that Springfield Elementary is seen as this by the rest of the school district.
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad:'' In the episode "Stan-Dan Deliver" Steve is forced to join a class of depraved kids because of Roger's actions. Then Roger becomes a CoolTeacher for this class only to prove at Steve that he is not completely immoral.

* The very first page of ''[[Manga/TorakoAnmariKowashichaDameDaYo 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 LethalKlutz with SuperStrength who largely shrugs off whatever anyone tries to do and hammers others down without even meaning to.

** Bart got threatened by Skinner with being sent to a disciplinary school run by Catholic soldiers for truancy.
** And in a later episode, "The Father, The Son, and the Holy Guest Star," Bart actually ''was'' sent to Catholic school, because he'd been expelled from Springfield Elementary.

* Visual Novel ''GrisaiaNoKajitsu'' (Fruit of Grisia) 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 [[BoardingSchool 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.

* Every sufficiently large school district in the world will have at least one school that qualifies for this trope, or is at least ''seen'' to do so... which is often a self-fulfilling prophecy. To summarise an ''extremely'' complex and controversial topic, if a school performs poorly then parents who both value their children's education and have the resources and the time to try and get them into a better school will do so, leaving the school with the students whose parents can't or won't send them somewhere else or who have been kicked out of some other establishment for bad behaviour. A similar phenomenon can happen to the staff as morale falters and it becomes harder to attract talented and motivated people to a school where their efforts will often go unappreciated. The resulting negative feedback loop can carry on for decades if drastic action isn't taken. Experiments with tying funding into attendance and/or exam performance in some countries haven't helped.

* ''Manga/SakigakeOtokojuku'' is a manga about a school dedicated to reforming juvenile delinquents.

* ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' has the Slifer Red dorm, where go the students with the weakest Decks.

* ''LightNovel/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts'' segregates students based on their entrance exams. The brightest students live and learn in luxury in Class A, but the stupidest of the stupid get sent to class F, where they are lucky to have cardboard boxes as desks, chalk is a luxury, and the room itself is structurally drafty and unsound.
