1 of the 7 exams with a published figure are above the city rate. Relative to the city, the strongest result is Languages Other Than English (100% against 92.1%, +7.9 points) and the weakest is US History (44.7% against 69.8%, −25.1 points). In raw terms the highest pass rate is on Languages Other Than English (100%) and the lowest on Algebra I (22.9%).
On English (ELA), the pass rate went from 28.1% in 2017-18 (32 test takers) to 68.3% in 2024-25 (63), up 40.2 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 US History: 9.1% in 2017-18, 44.7% in 2024-25.
Among the 549 schools with a published English (ELA) rate in 2024-25, New Directions Secondary School ranks 276th (tied with 1 other school at 68.3%). In the Bronx it is 65th of 151.
Geometry: 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 Algebra II, Chemistry and Physics.
New Directions Secondary 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.
