How does your HS report GPA?

Our school reports both unweighted and weighted on the transcript. Weighted is just adding a point to what would have been received (i.e. 4 is 5, 2 is 3, etc.) Weighted is only given for AP or Dual Enrollment, not honors (which annoys me because some of our dual enrollment isn’t that hard, Spanish 3 and 4 are dual, but honors English really is). All electives (including study hall/free period) count. We count study hall and free period because of controversy in 2010. A student was upset as his schedule of 5 weighted, 1 unweighted, and a study hall was given a higher GPA then 5 weighted and 2 unweighted classes. All class ranks (weighted) are reported, no sort of honors other than Valedictorian/Saludictorian (1st/2nd in class, no ties for valedictorian are allowed ECs are used to tiebreak) are awarded. Our school can only do this because of its small, rural size.
