English Learner Progress Indicator 

What is this Indicator?

The English Learner Progress Indicator (ELPI) is one of several state indicators that the California Department of Education (CDE) reports on the California School Dashboard (Dashboard). It represents the percentage of English learner students progressing towards English language proficiency. The CDE measures progress toward English language proficiency by comparing English Learner students’ results from the current Summative English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) and Summative Alternate ELPAC to the prior year Summative ELPAC and Summative Alternate ELPAC results.

This indicator is reported on the Dashboard for any district, county office of education (COE), and school that enrolls English learner students. Unlike other state indicators, the ELPI only reports on two student groups, English learners (ELs) and Long-Term English learners (LTELs). The LTEL student group was added for the 2024 Dashboard.
