Algebra I, Geometry, Living Environment / Biology, Global History and US History: fewer than 15 students sat these exams here in 2024-25, so the DOE published no pass rate. The number of test takers is still shown in the table. The DOE file has no 2024-25 line at all for this school on Algebra II, Earth Science, Chemistry, Physics and Languages Other Than English.
