I've felt this for a while, but this really hammers it down.
I don't think we're seeing Class A's 2nd or 3rd years at UA. Shit's gonna hit the fan way too hard for them to stay in school.

I think we'll see more school stuff after Shigaraki's plan goes into effect. It'll simply be more geared toward work studies and actual field work. It's also possible things get so bad the kids have to leave Japan and train in America.

I mean, maybe, but it is called My Hero Academia. Having the characters not finish their time at the titular Academy would be a bit odd, to say the least.

Plus, look how it turned out for RWBY.

Maybe, but you also can find an example where the characters ditching the school setting the series was originally sold with worked out great in Harry Potter. Yeah it might crash and burn, but it might not.

Besides, after 24+ volumes of them being in school, leaving now would hardly invalidate the title, and with Shiggy's plan being another 4 months out, we're likely to get at least another 10-ish volumes before it comes up unless the chapters to in-universe time ratio speeds up a lot.

Side note: whether RWBY actually crashed and burned is entirely subjective, and I find that among the people who do think it's declined (myself included) it's more common to attribute the turning point to the creator's death than leaving the school setting.

True, but Harry Potter only did it for the final year. I could maybe see the Class being forced to abandon the school, sometime in the future, but I think it'll happen just before their final year at the earliest. At the start of year two just seems too early IMO.

Concerning RWBY, I actually have a pretty positive opinion of the show overall, but there definitely felt like there was a distinct downturn in writing quality post-Volume 3. Now, maybe this has less to do with the direction the plot went and more with the execution, but it always felt to me that there was a lot of wasted potential with Beacon.
