Where This Data Comes From
ACCESS Test
The ACCESS test, taken each year by English learners in grades 1–12, which measures growth in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English.
Progress
Student progress toward reaching English proficiency, which often takes several years and varies from student to student.
Why This Matters
Students bring rich language skills and cultural knowledge to school. As they build English skills, they can participate more fully in classroom activities, access more academic content, and use both their home language and English to express themselves. This measure helps families understand how well schools support students in developing English while also valuing and building on their home languages.
