English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC)

State and federal laws require that public schools administer a state test of English language proficiency (ELP) to eligible students in Kindergarten through grade twelve. Assessments are based on the California English Language Development Standards. ELPAC is comprised of two tests: 1. The Initial ELPAC which is given one time to determine if a student is an English learner (EL) or Fluent in English (IFEP).  2. The Summative ELPAC is given annually, in spring, to monitor progress until a student is reclassified as Fluent English Proficient (RFEP).
