They're certainly not the strongest team in Beacon (that would be terrible since they're literally just first years), but they might be the strongest of their year. They certainly are the most famous of the moment, I believe: Team JNPR took down a Deathstalker, and Team RWBY beheaded a freaking Nevermore on their Initiation Day. That is going to catch a crazy amount of attention even if this feat may have been cupcake for those 3rd year (or late 2nd) and above.
