ACCESS Scores
As the school year comes to a close, you may be wondering why you are recieving ACCESS scores in the mail and what you should do with them. Here is some information about the test/scores. If you have questions please feel free to reach out to anyone in our department.
School districts use ACCESS for ELLs scores to evaluate language support programs, monitor student progress, and as one factor in the decision to exit a student from language support services. ACCESS for ELLs testing allows schools to meet federal and state accountability requirements.
Questions Parents Might Have About ACCESS:
β’ What does this score mean? Who will see this score and how will it be used?
β’ How do this yearβs scores compare with previous scores? Is my child making progress in building English language skills? What other information do you use to measure progress?
β’ Will this score change the instruction or support my child receives? How do you decide when my child stops receiving language support?
