High School grade mistake. Japanese schools are 3 year schools. If the anime set in America this does not apply(most animes take place in Japan though) Thus:
1st Year = Sophomore not freshman.
2nd Year = Junior
3rd Year = Senior (No idea how they get this right if they call a 1st Year a freshman but they do for some reason.)
These terms bring up too much confusion. Just don't even use them at all. Use "First Year", "Second Year", and "Third Year". Avoid all of the confusion that goes along w/ trying to equate Japanese Schools with American/Western Schools.
