Evaluate the article
Lead Section:


 * Compares Educational systems of US and UK
 * Touches slightly on research into history of achievement gap

Content:


 * Table of content points to factors contributing to achievement gaps (from race, to gender to culture etc.)
 * Also has content relating religion and educational achievement gap in the United States

Tone and Balance:


 * Article seems very much inclined to LGBT and gender achievement gaps (talks way more about these than any other topic)
 * Needs to put in more explanations of factors such as socioeconomic status and immigration, and even race.

Sources and References:


 * Many references with citations were missing
 * I edited one citation myself
 * Other than that most of the citations are complete, and referenced properly

Organization and Writing Quality:


 * Seems to be written in a correct grammatical fashion
 * Seems to require much ordering of content
 * Lot of talks on compiling many content under one subheading

Images and Media:


 * There are no images used in the article, except the use of the image from the department of education (tree)
 * There are only a couple of tables depicting data from sources

Talk Page Discussion:


 * Much talk on bettering citations and referencing for some content point
 * Much ordering needs to be done
 * More expansion on other factors such SES, religion, immigration, and biological impairment.

Overall Impressions:


 * Good conglomeration of information, but can be improved to be more concise, precise, and improve citations and references.
 * Seeing the talk page, I am optimistic about positive change coming to this article.
