Most schools are going to re-weigh the calculations anyways - so the GPA is going to be a bit different than what you see on his high school transcript - they include the grades/weight of the major classes - and exclude the phys ed/cooking/electives usually - you may be able to find that info at their web sites - or by a t/c to the admissions office - as every high school seems to weight classes differently - so this somewhat standardizes things for all applicants.

Keep in mind also that your high school will be sending a ''school profile'' that explains the weighting system that they use - and info about the school also - so colleges have a pretty good picture of where the student is coming from.
