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

I think it’s rude to say it’s a safety in the CC thread for kids/parents for that school. Why is that relevant information to anyone on that thread? That school may be a top school for many of those kids.

I also wouldn’t speak in general discussions with most people about any particular schools being safeties. The term itself isn’t negative, but you’re basically saying your kid’s stats are better than those of that school. What purpose does this serve?
