The Initial English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) is given to K-12 students whose home language is not English to identify English Language Learners (ELLs).  

The Summative ELPAC is given yearly to track English language acquisition and provide educational supports to all students designated as ELLs.

State and federal laws require that all students whose primary language is other than English be assessed for English language proficiency (ELP). The legal basis for requiring ELP testing is that all students have the right to an equal and appropriate education, and any English language limitations left unidentified and/or unaddressed could preclude a student from accessing that right.

Initial ELPAC 

July 1 - June 30, 2020

The Initial ELPAC exam will be administered to students within 30 days of initial enrollment in a CA school as indicated by the home language survey.

Summative ELPAC

California Ed Code (Sections 60810-60812) requires all students designated as English Learners (ELs) to take an English proficiency test yearly to track progress and provide educational resources.
