I'll say this much; just because the youngsters did better than they feared they would doesn't mean that the situation wasn't dire. RWBY were about to be overwhelemend when JNPR arrived to take some of the load

Monty just chose not to show the full scale of what happened (which would have taken an age to render) rather, he's just hinted towards just how much damage was done - Shops smashed, WF troops wiped out, people hurt (killed) and the Council furious that this happens during the Festival.
