I think some high schools used to split the pupils between junior & senior, so it could mean that.

In the absence of further information, I have no idea. In the UK though, at the age of 12, he would've been in first year at high school, which would be junior high in the countries that split between junior and senior.

In my experience, 'a junior' is not a natural way to refer to someone in a context like this. I'd have trouble figuring out exactly what he means.
