Is it rude to comment that a school is a “safety”?

Also, safety schools are very clear you will get in with certain scores and GPA and if you are NMF. That being said, we never told others where our kid got in unless asked. But all his HS kids knew somehow.

For us, it wasn’t a safety school but a merit money option school. For some reason, which I did not agree philosophically, these schools were willing to give big money because my kid was NMF. Personally, I thought that was not a good way to hand out money, but hey, wasn’t complaining.
