Do high schools still use UW GPAs?

My regional public school uses only unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale. They feel it gives students in lower levels a chance of getting onto the honor rolls. (Both of ours are based on both GPA and specific letter grades) Unfair to those of us taking 4-5 AP’s with the rest of the classes being honors level though. We don’t rank either and do not have valedictorians per say. Just the top 3 students of our class are asked to speak at graduation.
