The English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) is California’s assessment system that is used to determine the English language proficiency of students whose primary language is not English.
The ELPAC has two parts:
Initial ELPAC - to be administered within two weeks of enrollment (only administered once over the course of the student's academic career)
Summative ELPAC - administered between February and March (Given annually until the student meets reclassification criteria)

The Initial English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) is the required state test for English language proficiency (ELP) that is given to newly enrolled students whose primary language is a language other than English. State and federal law requires that local educational agencies (LEAs) administer a state test for eligible students in kindergarten through grade twelve. The Initial ELPAC Fact Sheet (PDF) provides a summary of information. Additional Resource: Initial ELPAC Information

Initial ELPAC After Testing
After your student completes the testing and the HST has entered their calibrated scores into the testing data entry interface, it takes approximately 24-48 hours for your student’s score report (SSR) to be uploaded in the state scoring database
Your student’s score report will then be mailed and emailed to you and your HST, with an explanation of the results: EL (English Learner) or IFEP (Initial Fluent English Proficient)
If your student is designated as an EL, they will be offered classes and support to support their English learning
If your student is designated as IFEP, no further action is required and your student has evidence that they are proficient in English
Summative ELPAC After Testing
Summative ELPAC After Testing
After your student completes the testing Student Score Reports (SSRs) will be emailed and mailed to families within the first 15 days of the following school year
Your student's score will either result in the student remaining an EL or if the student meets reclassification criteria, the student will be re-designated as an RFEP (Reclassified Fluent English Proficient) student
If your student remains an EL they will continue to receive English support, participate in our provided classes, and take the Summative ELPAC annually until they meet reclassification criteria
If your student is designated as RFEP, no further action is required and your student has evidence that they are now proficient in English
