Daca nu ma insel asupra contextului si e vorba intr-adevar de scolile din trecut (de pe vremea lui Shakespeare de exemplu), nu putem folosi categoriile de \"scoala elementara\" sau \"scoala primara\", care nu existau pe atunci. Daca e vorba despre un context care se refera la prezent, elenus are dreptate.

Grammar school
A grammar school is a type of school found in some English-speaking countries. Its original intent was to educate the young in the grammar of one or two European languages. Grammar schools date back to earlier than the 16th century.

In the British case, that originally meant Latin and sometimes Greek in addition; and in the American case, that of English. However, the meaning of the term has since changed considerably, and grammar schools now provide so full an education as any other type of school.
