A good introduction is what you are after if you really want to make a good paper. A good introduction will be half of all the work that you will do, and will keep the reader interested. Make sure that in your introduction that you make reference to past facts and data that deal with the educational system in the USA and as regards reforms and such. Also include differing ideas, pros and cons, to give a balanced view for a start.

In addition, do add some information on the specific characteristics of problems of education in the urban setting. If possible try to include data on rates of industrial development and urbanization and discrepancies in rural and urban settings. Try to come up with simple correlations as points of interest along a historical perspective.

After the general background has been given, then you should start off with some basic concerns that underlies the sociological foundations of education. In essence, the sociological approach looks at how schooling in the United States and also whether in the urban or rural arenas, will perpetuate social inequality. Develop this topic from the basic education perspective all the way into the higher education spheres.

Address the problem at hand by illustrating it fully. After doing so, look at or list and discuss some possible interventions that could be done. Some researches do exist on education program interventions to lessen gaps, such as gender segregation and even aptitude segregation classes. Do not limit yourself to just one or two but do further research and discuss as much as possible.

Do not also limit your ideas and approached for intervention and discussion to the local scene alone. Look also at the other countries that may have this sort of problem that you are writing about, particularly in Europe. Europe is a good point of reference as they have the same basic levels of development economically and also high standards of educational practices. Look at how they may have addressed their own concerns and see if these can also be applied in the United States.
