How hard is it for you to understand a year has passed within the show?

All the Beacon Students in Volume 1 are 17, sans Ruby who is 15, at the start of the series, which most likely was in spring, given. I made an error, and the attack on Haven was actually before the start of the Fall Semester. Volume 3 ends in either late fall or winter, meaning that if the attack on Haven was shortly before the Fall Semester, then a year needs to have passed by that point. Since the characters are 17 by spring in Volume 1, Volume 5 is either late summer or fall, it stands to reason that they're 18 at least by Volumes 5-6.
