It is more like a college. This can be seen in the fact that in order to be accepted, you need to apply to get in. Most high school, unless they are private schools, will pretty much take anyone. Also based on the ages of the characters, they would be just about college age. Also, once they complete their time at Beacon they are Hunters, so it is like getting a diploma. Signal would be considered the high school equivalent of a combat school. However we don't know exactly how the school system works in RWBY, so they could have an entirely different setup.
