In your step 2, if the answer is yes, then your school is probably a prep school with connections to the college. In that case, the college counselors at your high school should be able to tell you which reachy colleges you are a good match for in their eyes (and which they are probably steering you toward as they are allocating students to colleges).

Regarding CDS GPA information, not all colleges give it, and colleges do not report it consistently (weighted versus unweighted, from high school or recalculated, etc.).
