I would say that the weighted GPA is significant, as it shows whether you have challenged yourself or not, but you could just explain that.

That can only be useful if the weighting method is known, and the unweighted GPA is also given. Since each high school seems to have its own weighting method, specifying only weighted GPA gives insufficient information to others. A 4.3 weighted GPA might have a 4.0 unweighted GPA behind it, or a 2.8 unweighted GPA behind it, depending on the high school’s weighting method (yes, there are high schools whose weighting methods can produce weighted GPAs of 6.something).
