First Grade - State Assessments 24-25

The English Language Proficiency Assessment for California (ELPAC) is an assessment of English language proficiency. It is comprised of two tests.

1. Initial ELPAC: Throughout the school year, all TK-12 students who indicate a language other than English on their Home Language Survey (HLS) when enrolling in a CA public school for the first time must take the Initial ELPAC. Most students are initially assessed in the first month of school. Those who enroll throughout the year must be assessed as well.
2. Summative: Students classified by the Initial ELPAC as English Learners are entitled to ELD instruction and must take the Summative ELPAC annually during the spring semester until they are reclassified as fluent in English (RFEP).
