All 5 exams with a published figure here come in below the city rate. The smallest gap is on Global History (−6.6 points against the city's 73.3%), the largest on English (ELA) (44% against 71.7%, 27.7 points below). In raw terms the highest pass rate is on Global History (66.7%) and the lowest on Algebra I (18.4%).
On English (ELA), the pass rate went from 53.5% in 2017-18 (71 test takers) to 44% in 2024-25 (50), down 9.5 points. Over the same span the city rate moved from 74.3% to 71.7% (−2.6 points). The largest move on any other exam is Living Environment / Biology: 58.5% in 2017-18, 30.3% in 2024-25.
Among the 549 schools with a published English (ELA) rate in 2024-25, Cascades High School ranks 495th (tied with 1 other school at 44%). In Manhattan it is 132nd of 137.
Geometry and Earth Science: 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, Chemistry, Physics and Languages Other Than English.
Cascades High School is a transfer school: the DOE files it under its "High School Transfer" report, for schools that enroll students who are over-age or behind in credits. Its pass rates describe that population and are not a like-for-like comparison with a four-year high school.

n/p: not published (fewer than 15 test takers). A dash: no line for this school and exam in the DOE file that year. From 2024-25, the DOE groups Living Environment with the new Life Science: Biology exam and reports Earth Science as Earth and Space Sciences. Nothing on this page is estimated.
