Assessment: MTELL

The Mathematics Test for English Language Learners (MTELL) is an accommodated, computer-delivered mathematics test featuring simplified English. The MTELL provides students with the opportunity to listen to test items in addition to reading them. Pictures and diagrams help students understand the language used in the test items. The MTELL assesses the same grade level standards as the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments, Series II (MCA-II), but test items are designed to reduce the confounding effects of language on math performance.

For each assessment file the “all student group” is filtered at 9 to protect student privacy. The 'filtered' column indicates if the results have been suppressed. In these cases, the average score and counts within each proficiency level will be empty. MTELL data are available in Excel and tab delimited formats. Tab delimited files provide detailed school and district information including demographics of test takers. Excel files show only summary information for a school.
