Do Colleges REALLY Re-weight GPAs?

I am TOTALLY new here & only beginnning to enter the college admissions process with my son. So my apologies if this subject has been exhausted at an earlier date.

I am 100% concerned about how colleges will look at my son’s GPA. Our tiny, very challenging private high school does not weight the GPA at all. In the face of admission officers looking at skyrocketing applications, how on earth will they have time to re-weight/un-weight any stated GPA? Every school we have visited has assured us that they look at each application in respect to his/her high school. It sounds wonderful - but not plausible!

I would love to hear your thoughts.
