Ok this is bugging me. Season 1 starts off in August 2016 see timeline below

BUT all these sophomores are 17 according to episode 1 and many after in the show. Aren't sophomore 15 when they start school (unless they had an early b-day which would still make them only 16)? This puts them at 19 the beginning of Senior year and 20 when they graduate high school. I even looked on Wikipedia to make sure this site wasn't wrong. Am I missing something?

How do you guys make their ages ok? Were you 17 when you started your sophomore year of high school? I sure wasn't.

I thought they were juniors? Like Zach said in his subpoenas that he was 17 and a junior at liberty high. The flashbacks with hannah they are sophmores and yeahhhh lmao :)

No their first day of school they are sophomores and 17. They actually say it. I thought they were juniors too bc no boys outside Riverdale are that big at that age. Then on my rewatch it said it. Their's a timeline somewhere.

What do you think?
