Our system is unique, so far as I know. What we do is this- an F is counted as 0, and a D- is a 2/3 (.666). Everything above that it an increment of 1/3 (.333) higher. So, a D is a 1, a D+ is a 1.333, a C- is a 1.666, and so on until you arrive at an A+, which is a 4.333 by that system.
We simply don’t weight grades, which is sometimes problematic. For example, the girl who was our “valedictorian” last year had never taken an honors or AP math or science class. If we weighted grades, she would have been much lower. Everyone was really unhappy when she got into Yale, needless to say.
