来自尔湾新生和家庭最常见的问题。
IUSD uses both weighted and unweighted GPA. Unweighted GPA uses a 4.0 scale (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1). Weighted GPA adds 1.0 bonus point for AP/eligible Honors courses. UC GPA (used for UC/CSU applications) has its own calculation and only includes 10th and 11th grade courses, with extra weight for approved honors/AP courses. We recommend asking your counselor for your official UC GPA or additional academic guidance. Calculate your own GPA using our “How GPA Works in IUSD” guide.
IUSD 同时使用加权和非加权 GPA。非加权 GPA 采用 4.0 制（A=4，B=3，C=2，D=1）。加权 GPA 会为 AP 课程及符合加权资格的 Honors 课程额外加 1.0 分。用于 UC/CSU 申请的 UC GPA 有独立算法，仅计算 10、11 年级课程，并为获批准的 Honors/AP 课程额外加权。建议向您的辅导员咨询官方 UC GPA 或其他学业指导。您也可以使用我们的《尔湾统一学区的 GPA 计算方式》指南自行计算 GPA。
There's no magic number — it depends on your goals, bandwidth, and the specific APs you choose. Taking 8 APs and getting Bs is generally worse than taking 5 and getting As. Top Irvine students heading to UCs often take 7–10 total over 4 years. Always remember: Don't take APs just to look impressive — take ones you'll actually do well in and care about.
没有一个适合所有人的固定数字——这取决于您的目标、精力，以及具体选择哪些 AP 课程。修 8 门 AP 却拿到 B，通常不如修 5 门并拿到 A。计划申请 UC 的尔湾优秀学生，四年通常共修 7–10 门 AP。请始终记住：不要只是为了让申请看起来更亮眼而选 AP；应选择您真正感兴趣、也有把握学好的课程。
IUSD does not require community service for graduation. However, all IUSD high schools offer transcript recognition when a student completes 25 approved hours in a school year and submits the required form. School-specific rules, deadlines, and eligible activities can change, so check the community service guide and confirm details with your counselor.
IUSD 不要求学生完成社区服务才能毕业。不过，IUSD 所有高中都会在学生一个学年内完成 25 小时获认可的服务并提交所需表格后，在成绩单上给予相应认可。各校规则、截止日期和符合条件的活动可能发生变化，因此请查看社区服务指南，并向您的辅导员确认具体要求。
