Which article are you evaluating?
Academic acceleration

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I'm particularly interested in gifted education policy and am hoping to pursue that for my final policy analysis. This article is a good place to start as it has strong "bones" but there is plenty that can be added. I'm hoping to either add more about the practices of acceleration or maybe add a section on mitigating potential inequalities.

Evaluate the article
The lead is overall very strong except it does not provide an overview of the upcoming sections, that is something that could be added. The content is fairly strong, but seems to be lacking in dealing with Wikipedia's equity gaps. There is brief mention but nothing too in depth. I know from my prior readings on this topic that there is a significant socio-economic and racial gap on children being flagged for gifted programs or even acceleration programs, this is something I am really considering adding. The article is neutral and does not try to sway opinion. From my preliminary overview of the sourcing, the article appears strong. There are citations throughout, they're reputable and accessible. Most of it is based on literature from the 2000s which could be newer, but I don't think critically so. The article is written clearly and properly throughout, some sections appear a little bare, but the core of all subjects are covered. This could be some more information to add. There are properly cited, fair use images present and they're somewhat related to the topic. Accelerated education can be difficult to find relevant images, I would consider adding images possibly related to examples of accelerated education types. There is a talk page though it is fairly inactive. This is part of WikiProject Education and is rated C with Low importance, meaning the article needs work but is not of high priority. To me, this makes this a great article to work on as it matches my interests for this class. Overall, I would consider this article off to a solid start but still lacking in details and not having recent information especially with the growing attention in education on racial inequities as there is no mention of its role in acceleration.
