Explanation:
There's a Quality Indicator document developed by the California Department of Education whose "purpose is to improve the quality of translations of parental notifications and other documents into languages other than English and to ensure more appropriate and effective interpreting practices. Quality indicators are provided for assessing the work of those who serve as translators and interpreters for parents and guardians of English learners."

This Glossary states English–language arts (ELA)
as "lengua y literatura en inglés" (conocido en inglés como ELA).

Inglés


Explanation:
Así se llama la materia en las escuelas estadounidenses, desde primaria hasta high school. (antes era simplemente "English")
Es "Inglés", así como Math sería "Matemáticas".


Al traducirlo a español, yo lo dejaría simplemente como "Inglés".
podría ser "lecto-escritura en inglés", pero eso en español suena más bien a nivel de aprendizaje o alfabetización.


language arts: a school subject that focuses on listening, reading, writing, speaking, and viewing skills in a given language
www.cpf.ca/English/FAQ/FSL Glossary.htm

Aunque dice "art", no se refiere a nada artístico. Generalmente se refiere a clases para los hablantes de la lengua (inglés), ya que como segunda lengua sería "English as a second language"

El equivalente, en México, sería: Español o Lenguaje (donde te enseñan a leer, escribir, gramática, etc.). Es decir, la materia en la escuela donde trabajas tu lengua.

Y aquí en específico se refiere a una sección de las Pruebas estandarizadas de California:

Y en el contexto de tu texto:
English-Language Arts
The grade two and three California English-Language Arts Standards Tests each have 65 multiple-choice questions. The tests for grades five, six, and eight through eleven each have 75 multiple-choice questions. During 2005, the grade four and seven California English-Language Arts Standards Tests included 75 multiple-choice questions plus a writing sample. For the writing component, students were required to write a narrative for an assigned topic. The types of writing used for the writing component of the test change from year to year and are based on the California Writing Application Content Standards. Grade four students may be required to write a narrative, a summary of information, or a response to literature. Grade seven students may be required to write a fictional or autobiographical narrative, a response to literature, a persuasive essay, or a summary of information. Two readers independently score each student’s paper using a four-point scoring guide. The two readers' scores are added to the 75 multiple-choice questions, resulting in a maximum score of 83 points possible for the English-language
arts test at these two grades.
