Summative ELPAC

What is the Summative ELPAC?

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 is aligned with the 2012 California English Language Development Standards and assesses four domains: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. The Summative ELPAC is given only to students who have previously been identified as English learner (EL) students based upon their initial assessment results. The Summative ELPAC measures how well they are progressing with English language development in each of the four domains.
