Resumen

Georgia Insights (GaDOE) WIDA ACCESS for ELLs state-level results — the spring English-language-proficiency assessment for Georgia English Learners. For each grade (kindergarten through 12) and each of eight WIDA domains — four language domains (listening, speaking, reading, writing) and four composites (oral language, literacy, comprehension, overall score) — reports the count and share of ELL students scoring at each of the six WIDA proficiency levels (Level 1 Entering through Level 6 Reaching). This is a proficiency-level DISTRIBUTION: it carries headcounts and shares per level, not the underlying 1.0-6.0 scale scores, so it cannot answer an 'average WIDA score' question. Coverage: spring 2017 through spring 2024, state level only — bronze publishes no district or school breakdown and no demographic breakouts beyond grade.

Granularidad de fila: Una fila por year, district_code, school_code, grade_level, domain, proficiency_level.

Métrica clave

Variables

Todas las columnas de la tabla de hechos. El código es el nombre exacto del campo que devuelve la API.

Columna	Tipo	Unidad	Rango	¿Nulo?	Descripción
`year`Year	integer	—	—	no	Spring testing year, the ending calendar year of the school year (2024 = school year 2023-2024). Extracted from the filename and cross-checked against the sheet's title row. Descripción completa▾ Spring testing year, the ending calendar year of the school year (2024 = school year 2023-2024). Extracted from the filename and cross-checked against the sheet's title row.
`district_code`District Code	string	—	—	yes	Always NULL: bronze reports statewide totals only, with no district breakdown. Descripción completa▾ Always NULL: bronze reports statewide totals only, with no district breakdown. Se une a districts; agrega sus columnas de etiqueta.
`school_code`School Code	string	—	—	yes	Always NULL: bronze reports statewide totals only, with no school breakdown. Descripción completa▾ Always NULL: bronze reports statewide totals only, with no school breakdown. Se une a schools; agrega sus columnas de etiqueta.
`grade_level`Grade Level	string	—	—	no	Grade tested, k (kindergarten) through 12. Descripción completa▾ Canonical grade code (`k`, `01`..`12`). Grade is the bronze row axis; there is no `demographic` column because the source has no race/gender/economic breakouts. 13 valores permitidos▾ `01` `02` `03` `04` `05` `06` `07` `08` `09` `10` `11` `12` `k`
`domain`Domain	string	—	—	no	The skill area scored: listening, speaking, reading, writing, or one of four composite scores. Descripción completa▾ WIDA test domain: four individually tested language domains (`listening`, `speaking`, `reading`, `writing`) plus four derived composites (`oral_language_composite` = 50% listening + 50% speaking; `literacy_composite` = 50% reading + 50% writing; `comprehension_composite` = 70% reading + 30% listening; `overall_score_composite` = 35% reading + 35% writing + 15% listening + 15% speaking). 8 valores permitidos▾ `comprehension_composite` `listening` `literacy_composite` `oral_language_composite` `overall_score_composite` `reading` `speaking` `writing`
`proficiency_level`Proficiency Level	string	—	—	no	WIDA proficiency band, level 1 (entering) up to level 6 (reaching). Descripción completa▾ WIDA proficiency level, the fixed six-level scale from `level_1_entering` (lowest) to `level_6_reaching` (highest). 6 valores permitidos▾ `level_1_entering` `level_2_emerging` `level_3_developing` `level_4_expanding` `level_5_bridging` `level_6_reaching`
`num_at_proficiency_level`Number at Proficiency Level	integer	count	—	no	Count of ELL students in this grade scoring at this proficiency level in this domain. Zero is a real zero — the source has no suppression (state aggregates exceed any small-cell threshold). Descripción completa▾ Count of ELL students in this grade scoring at this proficiency level in this domain. Zero is a real zero — the source has no suppression (state aggregates exceed any small-cell threshold).
`pct_at_proficiency_level`Percent at Proficiency Level	number	proportion	—	no	Share of students tested in this domain who scored at this proficiency level, on a 0-1 scale. Descripción completa▾ Share of domain-tested students at this level (0-1 scale; bronze publishes 0-100). The denominator is `num_tested_in_domain` (students tested in THIS domain), NOT `num_tested`. The six level shares sum to 1.0 per (year, grade_level, domain).
`num_tested_in_domain`Number Tested in Domain	integer	count	—	no	Students tested in this specific domain — the denominator of `pct_at_proficiency_level`. 2021 (Era 2): taken from the published `Total Tested in Domain` column. All other years (Era 1): reconstructed as the sum of the six `num_at_proficiency_level` counts for the (grade, domain) — the source leaves the denominator implicit (verified: the six published shares sum to 100.0 against exactly this total in every file, and the 2021 published value equals the level-count sum in every cell). Always <= `num_tested`. Descripción completa▾ Students tested in this specific domain — the denominator of `pct_at_proficiency_level`. 2021 (Era 2): taken from the published `Total Tested in Domain` column. All other years (Era 1): reconstructed as the sum of the six `num_at_proficiency_level` counts for the (grade, domain) — the source leaves the denominator implicit (verified: the six published shares sum to 100.0 against exactly this total in every file, and the 2021 published value equals the level-count sum in every cell). Always <= `num_tested`.
`num_tested`Number Tested	integer	count	—	no	Students in this grade tested in at least one domain — the grade-wide testing headcount, repeated on every (domain, level) row of the grade. Not every such student tested in every domain, so per-domain `num_tested_in_domain` is <= this value. Descripción completa▾ Students in this grade tested in at least one domain — the grade-wide testing headcount, repeated on every (domain, level) row of the grade. Not every such student tested in every domain, so per-domain `num_tested_in_domain` is <= this value.

Limitaciones

2021 ACCESS testing was voluntary/disrupted by COVID-19 — per the source's 2021-only participation reporting, about 90 percent of enrolled ELLs statewide tested in at least one domain, ranging from 95.45 percent in kindergarten down to 66.65 percent in grade 12 — so the 2021 proficiency distribution may carry selection bias relative to other years and should be trended with caution. Counts and shares reflect students who tested; suppression is not used by this source, so NULL values are structural (state-level geography keys), never masked data.
