Hookshot, you gotta remember that just because characters are weaker compared to the rest of the cast, that does not make them weak. It just makes the rest of the cast very strong. RWBY, JNPR, CFVY, and maybe even CRDNL (despite how often they are made the butt monkeys), are all extremely strong and skilled teams. But that's just four teams out of the DOZENS that must be attending Beacon. It stands to reason that many of the background characters we see are still strong enough to have made it into Beacon, but not strong enough to be featured alongside the main cast...Or in the tournament. You know what they say; "if everyone is special, no one is".
