ACCESS for ELLs is an English language proficiency test that measures students’ academic English language skills. School districts use ACCESS for ELLs scores to evaluate language support programs, monitor student progress, and as one factor in the decision to exit a student from language support services. ACCESS for ELLs testing allows schools to meet federal and state accountability requirements.
