Do high schools still use UW GPAs?

My school reports unweighted GPA and ranks based on weighted GPA. I think this system is good because it takes into account the difficulty level of courses while giving ranks.
I have heard that when the colleges recalculate the GPA, they do it on an unweighted basis and also drop the + & - (that is, A+, A- and A are all the same).
