Can’t follow teen sims to highschool

I deleted the original high school that came with high school stories and got a new high school off the gallery. I edited the school and it has all the requirements for a high school. The lot type is set to
"High School."

With the new high school, I cant travel to my school with my teen sims. Enable Follow Messages is on. I even turned it off and then back on. Ive tried this with multiple teen sims, and I cannot follow any of them to school. 

What could the problem be?

Thanks!
