I think Volumes 1-3 were a year. Since Volumes 2 and 3 were the fall semester, which was considered the second semester, that means the first semester was earlier in the year, which means the Huntsman academies' school year starts toward the beginning of the year. This is unlike the American school year, which begins its first semester in fall. And let's not forget that Volume 3 ends in winter, as we see a transition from fall to winter in the end of the final episode.

In Volume 5, they're about to begin the fall semester. We don't know if Volume 6 is at the beginning of the 3rd year or at the end of the 2nd year, and the fact that RWBY has gone north into Mistral's tundra region makes it harder to tell.

But I do agree that we're most likely still in the 2nd year.
