Are LEP students who score at the intermediate level on TELPAS required to take the TAKS test?
An RPTE score of intermediate is not in and of itself used to require TAKS in English the following year. Time in U.S. schools is another criterion. An immigrant who has been in U.S. schools for longer than three years is not eligible for a LEP exemption from TAKS under any circumstances, regardless of their RPTE score. Some immigrants who have been in U.S. schools longer than three years do have RPTE scores of intermediate and even beginning. By law, however, there is no possibility for a LEP exemption after the third school year of enrollment in U.S. schools. Schools are expected to teach immigrants enough English by their fourth school year in the U.S. to get them beyond the beginning and intermediate levels of ELP. Is Subchapter 89 BB.
