A freshman is also known as a ninth grader or the first grade in high school. A sophomore is a tenth grade or the second year of high school. Junior is next and at the end is senior. You were definitely right, they are to do with school.

As other people said, these words correspond to grades in school, however that usage came from colleges. First year of college is freshman, second year sophomore, third year junior, fourth (hopefully last) is senior.
