English Language Proficiency
What percent of English Learners tested proficient in English on the Iowa ELPA21? 
What does this score mean?
Iowa uses annual administration of the ELPA21 and Alt ELPA assessments to determine how many English learners tested proficient in English. This data shows the percentage of English learners in kindergarten through 12th grade testing proficient in English overall as well as the percentage scoring ‘Early Advanced’ or ‘Advanced’ in each of the domain areas of the ELPA21 and Alt ELPA: reading, writing, speaking and listening. In order to be considered proficient, English learners must score ’Early Advanced’ or ’Advanced’ in all four of the domain areas (or the two modalities, receptive and productive, for the Alt ELPA). Students testing proficient on the ELPA21 or Alt ELPA are exited from the English learner program.
