They say when they finally get together, I think around The Team, that they've known each other for 10 years. 12 works better than 15 there. And when Simmons says she was 17, I think she says it was when she joined the academy, not when she graduated it. The line is something like "I was a 17-year-old with a thousand questions", being her reason for joining the academy. I have it down that in "Making Friends and Influencing People", the The Daily Cadet article Fitz looks at states he and Simmons were the Sci-Tech class of '04 then later in the episode Simmons tells Bakshi she was a 17 year old girl with 2 Ph.D.s and millions of questions when she joined S.H.I.E.L.D. -- and so they were born in 1987, so graduated S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy in 2004 then joined S.H.I.E.L.D. in the same year.
