How does your school calculate GPA for colleges?

D’s BS said they don’t count GPA but when we got the password to their Navience and of course there is GPA everywhere.
D went to college guidance office to figure out her GPA, they said the GPA system is very complicate, they don’t give honor and AP classes more weight, same as regular classes.
With all honor and APs, D is a B/B- student, not so good GPA (under 3.0), rank 50% at class. I wonder how colleges think about it? D said maybe next year, for better GPA, she will give up any AP and just take the easiest classes (I knew she won’t do that).
