Freshman is 9th grade which is usually 14-16 year olds.
Sophmore is 10th grade which is usually 15-17 year olds.
Junior is 11th grade which is usuaslly 16-18 year olds.
Senior is 12th grade which is usually 17-19 year olds or old people 50+.

Maybe I can elaborate a little on what Hitler the Goat said to put it in a better prospective for you.
Her in America our primary education is broken down into three schools.
Elementary School - Kindergarten to 5th grade
Middle School - 6th grade to 8th grade
High School - 9th Grade to 12 grade
9th grade = Freshman
10 grade = Sophomore
11 grade = Junior
12 grade = Senior
Colleges and Universities are schools of higher Education where one receives an undergraduate degree and can continue on for graduate degrees of Masters and PHD or go to Law or Medical School.
I hope this clears things up for you.
There is an old saying about our two countries. That we are two countries separated by a common language. I would think we might add to that our education systems as well.
