It could be Dangerous Minds, with Michelle Pfeiffer as the teacher.
The film also had "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio as the main theme song
PS - To the person called ME, I happened to answer the question BEFORE the additional details were posted but now my answer seems to stuck in the middle somewhere as if I answered it just recently. I did read the question, as I'm sure many of us did, except the additional details were added after we posted our answer.

i so think i know what film you're talking about, there is a new one coming out with hilary swank in it but there was an older one in which perhaps jodie foster was a teacher and i think she got beat up in it

Sounds like ' To Sir, With Love ' turned inside out.
