Well, the Red Trailer was simply a bunch of Beowulfs - all one kind of Grimm. Also remember when Weiss fought a Boarbatusk in class: She had a hard time with it. And the two episodes you mention are when Team RWBY are together. Sure, they each defeat individual Grimm, but they weren't alone. They had their teammates to defeat any enemies that they themselves didn't see, not to mention Dr. Oobleck if things went really wrong. It also took Ren a bit of effort to kill the King Tajitu in Volume 1.

So, basically, yes, students can kill a lot of Grimm, but I think the real problem here is the variety. You have too many types of Grimm in the scene. And e ach Grimm has it's own way of fighting. Think about it: Would a single student really be able to adapt that quickly, or keep track of that many different opponents? Even Ruby gets knocked back by one of the Beowulfs in the Red Trailer.

And btw, we don't know if Rapier Wasps are actually Grimm. They could just be regular insects, like how Zwei is just a dog. What do exist, however, are Lancers.
