I am so sick of never getting anything in the mail regarding registration. I usually find out by driving by and seeing other students. I never get any forms to fill out and never get the option of photo packages. The school website gives no information, it's a joke!

This school is aweful! With my oldest son they told him at age 16 that he can quit school, which he did and I was not informed. My youngest son is going there now. And there is nothing but trouble in that school since they had school of choice. If you ask me that was a very bad choice.
