How do students who are English Language Learners (ELL) participate state testing?
All students who are ELL must participate in all state testing scheduled for their grades regardless of the number of years they have been in the U.S. The only exception is students who are in their first year of enrollment in U.S. schools. These students are not required to participate in reading or writing tests, but must take the math and science exams. In addition to participating state testing, ELL students must take annually the Washington Language Proficiency Test II (WLPT-II) in reading, writing, speaking and listening.
