Does the English Language Proficiency (ELP) use grades 3–12 TELPAS results for current year EB students/EL students or does it consider all K–12 results?
The English Language Proficiency component measures the percentage of current EB students/ELs in grades K–12 who have made progress in developing their English language proficiency since it was last assessed. To be considered as having made progress, a student must increase at least one proficiency level on the TELPAS composite rating from the prior year to the current year or have a composite rating of Advanced High. Students who had a TELPAS composite rating of Advanced High in the prior year must maintain the composite rating of Advanced High in the current year to be considered as having made progress.
