Evaluate the article
The lead does a good jobs of summarizing the article and its main points, although some of the information inside could be shortened as it is rather long. For the most part the content is well-rounded, however, the article only goes on to discuss English as taught in British high schools, which leaves out all other secondary education around the world. I believe that this article is well-sourced just from viewing the sources at the bottom but lacks inline citations to back up the information being presented. The clarity of writing and organization of this article are of good quality. This article is apart of multiple wiki projects and discussions on the talk page point out the need for revision and tone. While I did not see many examples of improper tone, this article has been revised many times and those instances may have been removed.

While the article goes into good depth about English studies within college education, it is severely lacking in terms of information about highschool education and if one intends to discuss English as taught in English schools, one should include other countries as well. In addition, there has been some discussion about this article being merged into other articles which may help, as this article needs attention. I think that what English Studies has is good, but it needs to be much more comprehensive.
