As of 2008-09 school year the WIDA ACCESS Placement Test, also referenced as the WIDA SCREENER, is administered to all initially enrolled language minority students.  This test functions as a screener that is used for the initial assessment and English as a Second Language (ESL) program placement of students who are identified as limited English proficient (LEP).  The annual test, ACCESS for ELLs (Assessing Comprehension and Communication in English State-to-State for English Language Learners), is designed to satisfy Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requirements for Title III.
