The English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) replaced the California English Language Development Test (CELDT ) beginning in the 2017–18 school year. 

The ELPAC is the required state test for English language proficiency (ELP) that must be given to students whose primary language is a language other than English. State and federal law require that local educational agencies administer a state test of ELP to eligible students in kindergarten through grade twelve. The California Department of Education (CDE) transitioned from the California English Language Development Test (CELDT) to the ELPAC as the state ELP assessment in 2018. The ELPAC is aligned with the 2012 California English Language Development Standards. It consists of two separate ELP 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 ELP.
The ELPAC is aligned to California's English Language Development Standards and assesses English language proficiency in the four  areas of language: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

The ELPAC is comprised of two different assessments, the Initial assessment & Summative assessment as identified below:

English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC)

Summative Assessment

The ELPAC is part of the California assessment system and is aligned with California’s English Language Development Standards. The test is administered during the spring semester from February 1st through May 31st. In our district, the test results are only one way to determine the progress of our English learner students. We use the results to find areas in which students are doing well and areas in which they need help. It is also important to know that the test results are not used to determine whether a student moves to the next grade. If your child did not complete the assessment, you will not find any results on the student portal.

You can access your child’s score report through the Synergy StudentVue or ParentVue Portals at Synergy Parent Portal Access.

To learn more about your child’s scores, go to the new parent web page called Starting Smarter, available at Getting to know the ELPAC.

If you have questions about your child’s progress or if you would like to request a paper copy of the ELPAC Score Report, please contact the English Learner Teacher on Special Assignment (EL TOSA) at your high school.
