The embargoed 2022 NYSESLAT Scores are now available in Level 2 Reporting. Available scores are to be used for planning and programming purposes. Follow this link to view the 2022 Memo, NYSESLAT—Determining an English Language Learner’s (ELL) English Language Proficiency Level. 

Please note that NYSESLAT Scores are embargoed until released to the public. Data under embargo may not be discussed at public meetings, with Boards of Education, Charter School Governing Boards, or otherwise released to the public. Embargoed data are preliminary data to be used for programming and instructional purposes. Student level data are to be shared only with a student’s parent or legal guardian via the individual student report (ISR) to be available in the L2RPT. 

If you have any questions regarding NYSESLAT Data, please contact your Regional Information Center or Big 5 Scanning Center. You may also contact us at rbern@swboces.org.
