Derek could be refering to college and not high school. I only say that because otherwise having a young Peter makes no sense in the flashback of Derek and Paige.

Derek wasn't talking about college. Styles said in season 1 that Derek was "only a few years" older than them. Derek is from Beacon hills (since he lived there during the Paige story they said it in the episode). He could not have been in highscool in the 70s and then still be in high school or go back recently enough for Styles to remember him being there. Even if he was talking about college, the difference between the two is only 4 years. That would not account for the 36 years between 1977 and 2013. The writers have messed up before with timing, but it just doesn't fit. The only way a person who doesn't age 40s can keep from getting figured out is to leave and not come back until noone remembers them and they can start over.

Either way the writers did make a mistake. I think the mistake was the young Peter. I had a huge problem with that during the episode. This is what makes me think you could be right. Either they messed up what Peter would have looked like at the time, or the messed up Deaton, Cora and Derek's own back stories. Either way they made some mistakes.
