Morphology
The meaning 'the period of the year during which schools are open' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'school' (an educational institution) with 'year' (an annual period). This straightforward noun-noun compounding follows common semantic composition patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
School year comes from the simple idea of a school and a year put together: it is the part of the year when classes run. So, it means 'the period when schools are open and regular classes are held'.
