ACCESS for ELLs: Understand Your Child's Score

The annual ACCESS test measures your child's academic English skills to help them succeed in school. When you receive the score report, you will see how your child performed in the key areas of Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. The report provides a main score to show their current English proficiency level and a more detailed score that teachers use to track their specific growth from year to year. This information is crucial because it helps your child's teachers plan their lessons, guides the school in providing the right support, and allows you to partner with us to advocate for your child's needs.
