先快速了解五个常见问题。如果问题与自己的成绩单或学校特殊规定有关,请向辅导员确认。
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。建议向辅导员咨询官方 UC GPA 或其他学业指导。你也可以使用我们的《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.
没有适合所有人的固定数字。这取决于你的目标、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。不要只为了让申请更亮眼而选 AP;应选择自己真正感兴趣、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,学生在一个学年内完成 25 小时获认可的服务并提交所需表格后,IUSD 高中可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变化,请查看社区服务指南,并向辅导员确认具体要求。
Absolutely — that's exactly who we're here for. Many of our volunteers were international students themselves, and many of us are bilingual (Mandarin/English). We can help navigate enrollment, understand the American high school system, translate materials, and connect you with the broader Irvine student community. You don't need perfect English to reach out — we'll meet you where you are.
当然可以。我们的许多义工本身就是国际生,不少人能使用普通话和英语交流。我们可以协助你办理入学、了解美国高中体系、翻译材料,并融入尔湾学生社区。英语不必完美,直接联系我们即可,我们会从你目前的情况出发提供帮助。
You'll need to enroll through the IUSD district office. Required documents typically include: proof of residency (utility bill or lease), immunization records, previous school transcripts, and a birth certificate or passport. Visit iusd.org for the official enrollment portal. We can walk you through the process step by step — just contact us or submit a help request.
你需要通过 IUSD 学区办理注册。通常所需材料包括居住证明(水电账单或租约)、疫苗接种记录、原学校成绩单,以及出生证明或护照。请访问 iusd.org 查看官方注册入口;如果需要,我们也可以逐步帮你理清流程。
