ACCESS for ELLs is an English language proficiency test that measures students' academic English language skills. Your child was identified as an ELL, which means your child can have instruction in English, in addition to taking other classes. ELLs take an English language proficiency test every year.

There are six ELL levels: Beginner. Lower intermediate. Intermediate. Upper intermediate.

English language learners are given several formal assessments, including English language proficiency exams and standardized state tests, which can assess reading comprehension and math. When taking a formal exam, ELL students may receive accommodations, like additional test-taking time.
