"they finally realized that the school setting wasn't gonna work" They didn't "realize" jack shit. This was planned from the start.

They've told us before that Monty, Miles, and Kerry sat down and planned out literally the entire story of RWBY (approximately 10 years worth of it!) before they even began writing the script for Volume 1.

So, no, they didn't realize shit. They were planning on having the characters leave Beacon and go on a journey from the beginning. Beacon Academy was just the setup, showing us what's supposed to be normal for their world, while also slowly getting the characters involved in a villainous plot.
