Explanation:
Mira, el flagfish es un pececito de acuario que en español le llaman "pez bandera", "pez estandarte", así que creo que es como una analogía y podrías decir: "Como escuela emblema de la ciudad...", "Como escuela representativa de la ciudad...", o algo similar. Tal vez otros colegas te puedan dar otras opciones. Suerte!
