year 9- freshman (fresh to the school) year 10- sophmore (youve become familiar with the school, and want more!) year 11- junior (you think your grown up, but your still to young to graduate) year 12- senior (your the oldest) this repeats in college too. youd be a junior.

"Freshman" is commonly used to describe a beginner or novice,a student in the first year of study The etymology is from Greek meaning "become wiseĆ¢€™.The 10th grade is usually the second year of a student's high school period and is referred to as sophomore year. the United States, many students take the SAT Reasoning Test and/or ACT in the second half of their 11th-grade year.In the US, a student at this grade is typically referred to as a junior . This is where you fit.:D And the senior is the last year and graduate at 18 years old.

Yeah, I never understood that "year" stuff y'all do over there... Anyway. Freshmen are 9th graders (just came from middle school) Sophomores are 10th graders Juniors are 11th graders (you would be a junior) Seniors are 12th graders (the last year in high school, after this, it's college) Freshmen and sophomores are underclassmen Juniors and seniors are upperclassmen.
