> "real'noe uchilishche"?

This does not suggest an English equivalent for you, but note that the 
novelist Boris Akunin defines the term briefly and has a little fun with it 
during the course of his 2005 book 'Detskaja kniga.'  You can find his 
initial mention of it here <http://tinyurl.com/ddst9z> beginning a few lines 
from the bottom of the page (p. 90).

Note that in this case a post-secondary school is not intended, as the boy 
who will be disguised as a "realist" is about eleven years old.
