Can someone explain this to me?

So I'm told that Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior are all like names that are used in Senior High for different grades. So I'm assuming that senior means grade 12 and that Freshman is when you start high school so that would be grade 10. so would grade 11 be Sophomore or Junior. My friend told me that freshman would be grade 9 but that doesn't make any sense. Why would someone be a freshman in their last year of Junior high?

In most school districts, at least in the US, high school (your "senior high") is four years, grades 9-12, and middle school (your "junior high") is 6-8 or 7-8. Most people start high school in grade 9, instead of grade 9 being the last year of middle school. Therefore:

Grade 9 = freshman (first year of high school)
Grade 10 = sophomore
Grade 11 = junior
Grade 12 = senior (last year of high school)

Most American High Schools are from 9th-12th grade.
Grade 9 (when you first enter high school) - Freshman
Grade 10 - Sophomore
Grade 11 - Junior
Grade 12 (last year of High School) - Senior
