You can look at in one of two ways:
 * 1) Beacon is the last step for students to become official Hunters. This basically means that the entire school is full of highly trained warriors that can pretty much destroy anyone that isn't already at the same level as a Hunter and even then, you would need a lot of people. The first test Ruby had to take had enough relics for about 40 students, meaning just the freshman class has that many if that was the only test. Beacon is a 4 year school so there are at least 100+ highly skilled Hunters-in-training, plus the teachers themselves. '''No one in their right mind would attack the school.
 * 2) On the flip side, Beacon is training the next generation of Hunters. As stated above, no one would ever think to attack the school so no one would think that anyone would try, making it easier to actually attack it. If they did attack, everyone would be unprepared and if they blew it up, that is an entire generation of Hunters gone, which may also cause anyone wanting to be a Hunter to back off. This would also send a wave of fear to other school like Beacon in other areas. White Fang and Cinder's organization would obviously use this to their advantage.
