The ELPT is a secure, large-scale, English language proficiency assessment administered to students in Kindergarten through Grade 12 who are officially identified as English learners (ELs). This assessment is administered annually to monitor English learners’ progress in acquiring academic English.
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires that the Local Education Agency (LEA) must assess all ELs using the annual English language proficiency assessment, including those students whose parents have declined to enroll them in, or had them removed from, Language Instruction Education Programs (LIEPs). The federal regulations that govern the administration of this annual assessment are as follows:
