ELPAC
The English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) is the required state test for English language proficiency that must be given to students whose primary language is a language other than English per state and federal law. The ELPAC is aligned with the 2012 California English Language Development Standards.
The ELPAC consists of two separate 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 English language proficiency. The testing window for the Summative ELPAC is February 1 through May 31. Student Score Reports are shared with parents in the summer following test administration.
