I just graduated in 2017 and I would say that there isn't much diversity and the education is pretty behind. When I moved from California to Wisconsin, they were just learning a few things I already learned back in third grade. There aren't many clubs or after school programs to help students more in education. The school was average not too bad but also not that great.
