How does your school calculate GPA for colleges?

On the transcript sent to colleges, DD’s small prep school gives a GPA that only includes year-end grade for Junior year and mid-term for Senior year. That means if applying ED, it would only include Junior year. I know that many colleges re-calculate the GPA from the transcript, but it sounds odd to me. When I asked the Dean about it, she implied that only public schools include all 4 years in the GPA.

Oh, and if your school provides a weighted GPA, how do they weight it?

Thanks
