English Language Proficiency Assessment for California (ELPAC)
ELPAC Overview Video: English (Video; 16:06)
ELPAC Overview Video: Spanish (Video; 18:28)
State and federal law require that local educational agencies administer a state test of English language proficiency (ELP) to eligible students in kindergarten through grade twelve.
The ELPAC is aligned with the 2012 California English Language Development Standards. It is comprised of two separate ELP assessments: one for the initial identification of students as English learners (ELs), and a second for the annual summative assessment to measure a student’s progress in learning English and to identify the student's level of ELP. The ELPAC will test for listening, speaking, reading and writing. View the ELPAC Overview video for parents. Video en español de reseña de las ELPAC
Students who are enrolling in the state of California for the very first time and have a home language other than English will be administered the ELPAC Initial Assessment.
View a video providing information about the Initial ELPAC including its purpose, an explanation of who takes the test, and a description of how families will be notified of their child's results. Video en español de reseña de las ELPAC.
