How does your school calculate GPA for colleges?

The school does send an official transcript with all courses, grades and AP/honors indicated for all classes taken at the school. Colleges could recalculate their own GPA from the information given. My concern is that the first impression for ad coms is this idiosyncratic, unique version, GPA. I will talk to the college guidance person. I just want more info about other schools. It is not so easy to find out how other schools grade, or weight their GPA’s or what info they send to colleges.

Thanks everyone for the info you are providing
