Ella siempre llega a tiempo. Es la matadita de la clase.
She's always on time. She's the little nerd of the class. (Here the diminutive is even more insidious).

I'm not sure, but I'm thinking that "nerd" is probably a bit less intense than "matado". Yeah, it's not nice to call someone a "nerd", but it's definitely something that many "nerds" would actually understand/accept about themselves. (I do!)
