 * Article Evaluation

Lead
The article leads with an introductory sentence by giving an overall statement on the impacts Covid-19 has had on educational institutions. The article also provides other was Covid-19 indirectly impacted students learning. It does not have too many details but simply gives overall areas of the the pandemic has affected students.

Content
The article's content is relevant as it provides different views on how education was impacted on many levels. Examples would included food insecurity, homelessness, and the transition to digital learning. The content is up to date as the latest revisions were made in November 2020. However, the timeline is not up to date with school closures and CDC guidelines. The timeline ends in September 2020. The article definitely highlights equity gaps such as student debt and disability services.

Tone and Balance
This Wikipedia page is neutral as I am not seeing any opinions about the socio-economic conditions that are affecting students.

Sources and References
The sources in the articles appear to come from reliable outlets and a lot of the sources come from this past decade. These sources range from 2010-2020. A majority of them are from 2020. From the few links that I clicked on, they directed me to the appropriate source of information.

Organization
The articles structure was well organized and written. For example, the article was broken into different levels of education such as a preschool section and a high school section.


 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic.

Images and Media
The images represented in this Wikipedia page are mainly school closures and laptops which does align with the overall message of the article. Not many charts are available to show the statistics that are provided in the article. I think included some of those would be helpful for the reader.

Checking the talk page
The main conversations I see are those around the set up of the charts and images in the article. Some claim that two charts should be merged and others are confused about the relevance of an image being there.

Overall impressions
Overall, the article shows is up to date with great recommendations on how to better assist students with online learning during the pandemic. I think this article can be improved if there are recommendations added to how parents can support their students at home. The article is well developed as there appears to be no controversy in the Talk page or that I can identify.
