I live in Southeast Arkansas, McGehee and I want the best education for my granddaughters. We tried to put our girls in a charter school, but the waiting list is so long. If there is anyone with information on how to enroll my granddaughters ages 12 and 13 in a good educational school. I am open and thank you for the help. May God Bless You. Sharon
