General

ELPAC results provide information about the student’s annual progress toward ELP. The student’s ELPAC results

• are one measure of ELP that should be viewed with other available information, such as classroom tests, assignments, and grade levels;
• can be used to help talk to the student’s parent/guardian about the student’s progress made toward English language proficiency; and
• must be used as one of the measures to determine whether a student is ready to be designated as RFEP.

Results provided by the ELPAC are reported for four general purposes:

1. To help facilitate conversations between parents/guardians and teachers about student performance
2. To serve as a tool to help parents/guardians and teachers work together to improve student learning
3. To help schools and LEAs identify strengths and areas that need improvement in their educational programs
4. To provide the public and policymakers with information about student achievement or performance
