Weighted GPA?

The problem we have is that one of the schools my son is considering, University of Alabama Huntsville, has an automatic merit scholarship for 34 ACT and 4.0 GPA. My son has the ACT score, but has a 3.9 GPA because his school doesn’t weight GPA’s at all. The majority of his classes are Honors and AP classes, he has all A’s, but the two B’s he received in middle school for physical science and Algebra I are dragging his GPA down. So, we go from an automatic full ride to having to contact the university to explain and hope for the best.
