This is just an educated guess on this one as this terminology does not exist in Cuba, nor, I believe in Mexico, but it would seem that if the student in question is a High School student this would refer to her first year as such which would correspond to her being a ninth grader.

Ninth grade or Freshman year

My comment:

RD - La educación media no es obligatoria, aunque es deber del Estado ofrecerla gratuitamente. Atiende al grupo de edad 14-18 años y está organizada en un tronco común de dos años de duración y tres modalidades de dos años de estudio que ofrece tres diferentes opciones: general o académica, técnico-profesional (sector industrial, agropecuario y servicios) y artística.

USA - Ninth grade is the ninth post-kindergarten year of school education in some school systems. The students are 14 to 15 years of age, depending on when their birthday is. Depending on the school district, ninth grade is usually the first year of high school, or the last year of middle school. In America, it is often called Freshman year.

The DR is so much different from Mexico!!! I did not know this.
