It's either he retconned the current year in the timeline to 2013 (from 2011, where it should be), or it's just a situation where you have to use suspension of disbelief and not worry about what year everything is taking place in. I'm not sure why that's how it is, because I feel like this is a show where time is very important to understanding the storyline, but whatever.

Also, I don't think it would be hard to keep them in high school. The first season encompassed what, a few weeks span? Same with the second season? If there wasn't a 4 month gap between Season 2 and 3, right now we'd still be in their sophomore year, for at least a few more months. And assuming they start school in September in Beacon Hills, S3A only occupied about a month span since at the start of 3B, it's not even Mischief Night/Halloween yet. I don't think we have to worry about the characters graduating too fast, Jeff Davis could easily extend their junior year to at least 3 more seasons, and then there's their senior year.
