That’s definitely not just an allegedly thing, my private high school gave a GPA bonus of 0.5 for honors classes and 1.0 for AP classes to avoid this issue. And I’m certain it wasn’t something unusual or hidden, many other schools must have done it also.
Goodhart’s law and all that - if unadjusted GPA were the sole number to target, it would make way more sense to take the easiest classes possible and never challenge yourself.
