About the ELPAC:

The ELPAC is California's assessment system that is used to determine the English proficiency of students whose primary language is not English. The ELPAC is aligned with the 2012 California English Language Development Standards and assesses four domains: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing.

Who takes the ELPAC:

• Initial ELPAC
  • It is given to students in kindergarten (K) through grade 12 whose primary language is not English to determine their ELP status.
• Summative ELPAC
  • It is given to students in kindergarten through grade 12 who have been identified as EL students. These students will take the assessment every year until they are reclassified as fluent English proficient.

Testing Window:

Initial ELPAC: Ongoing

Summative ELPAC: February 3, 2025 - May 30, 2025
