Algebra II: fewer than 15 students sat this exam 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 Physics.
Lower East Side Preparatory 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.
