What kind of private school only goes to second, or even third or fourth, grade? Is this common?

I would think it would be inconvenient to get my child started in a school knowing I'd have to find another after two or three years. In my experience, most elementary schools go to at least sixth grade, and many go to eighth.

Most Montessori, actually.  IF they have elementary, they rarely have anything beyond lower El - grades 1-3.  It is exceedingly difficult to find teachers trained beyond primary, and middle school and up might as well be unicorns.  DD started in Montessori at age 2.  The school where she started goes to grade 3.  So, from a continuity perspective, she could stay in the same place for 7 years, and then switch.  Which is not a bad deal.

It happens to be the case that there are not a lot of secular private school options in the area, for education beyond 3rd grade.[/quote]

That makes sense. I hadn't realized that we had Montessori schools in this area that go beyond kindergarten.

So, is it possible than that FCPS is familiar with the school and the teachers writing the GBRSs and reads their commentary a certain way?  As in, what might appear to be positive comments to an outsider come across as "damning with faint praise" to the committee members who have read all the files from that particular school.

I don't know, just trying to come up with possibilities.
