Yes, it is definitely possible to fail an auto driving school defensive driving course, though not likely as long as you stick around to finish the class. For example, if you get bored and leave halfway through the traffic school, then you definitely won't get a completion certificate. Don't worry if you don’t pass the exam that will get you a completion certificate; the school might allow you retake the test. If, despite your best efforts, you fail the defensive driving course, then your speeding ticket will not be dismissed. 

Some states also allow the option of taking an online traffic school class from the comfort of your own home. If you go with this option, first make sure that the state will accept the online traffic school to dismiss a traffic ticket. Many do accept online traffic school instead of regular traffic school these days. This is a very good way to meet your traffic ticket requirement. You can work as fast or as slow as you like, and you can do it at a convenient time without worry.

Also be aware that not every state allows its drivers to take a defensive driving course to dismiss tickets. However, if you do decide to take a traffic school course, this could sway the judge favorably because it proves that you took your speeding ticket very seriously and want to become a better driver. This could lead to a ticket dismissal anyway. At the very least, you will become a better driver as a result.
