Personally I'm more surprised a Judo school wouldn't deal with grappling, since chokes and locks are a pretty major part of judo, while in my experience BJJ is less focused on much throwing/etc beyond trips and sweeps.
Both schools sound like they are teaching only part of their arts. That's not a value judgement, different people focus on different things.
