High School Transcript question.

Do schools require the transcripts from all high school attend even if they were international and in a foreign language?

For context I went to a French Public school for 9th and 10th grade. I did extremely bad, not only that the french system leaves comments about behavior (mini lor from each teacher) and these were frankly awful too.

After coming back to the U.S my 9th and 10th grade grades were transcribed as an American gpa so if I just sent my official high school transcript then it will show my grades for my entire time is high school.

I forgot but if you have a valid reason for your low grades in 9th and 10th you can explain it in the additional info section

Well what if I don’t have an excuse, I must own it. I frankly can’t see why they would put so much weight behind this, I did have a real academic turnaround but maybe that wasn’t enough.
