Just because Ren's strong enough to be a Huntsman does not mean he is on par with Pyrrha. It's already been established in the show that he's not on the same level as Pyrrha. I mean, wow. Really? No, you missed my point. I was commenting on your jocks and nerds point, insofar as the nerds at Sanctum would also be fairly athletic, and being thus is a requirement for doing well enough to get into Beacon. Pyrrha is of course better, she's amazing, but to be top of the class, Ren would also have to be pretty damn good. They might travel in different circles, but they'd definitely be aware of each other, if for no other reason than the school would be fairly small. Ren's a very good student, and he's also pretty damn strong, though Pyrrha is of course another level entirely, but I'd think that they're both on the upper end. Real life parallels to jocks and nerds are less applicable, in short.
