Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
When is a student likely to perform
ordinary classwork in English?
A Massachusetts ELL should be considered for
reclassification when ACCESS for ELLs results are:
 Overall score of Level 5.0
Also be aware that…
 ACCESS for ELLs test results alone should not be used as
the sole factor in determining English proficiency.
 Other indicators to supplement ACCESS results include:
 Observations by, and the judgment of, teachers
 Student’s classwork
 MCAS and other locally-administered test results
 Additional information can be found in the Guidance on
Identification, Assessment, Placement, and Reclassification of
English Language Learners at
