Help with residency Status

I was on the us on F1 visa since 2019. For tax year 2019-2023 I filed taxes as a non-resident alien, and for tax year 2024 I filed as a resident alien because of SPT.

I left the US on February 1st, 2025, and now I got a W-2 reflecting my work during January, but I'm not sure if  I should file taxes as resident, non-resident, or dual-status for tax year 2025. 

Could you please advice on this?

Yes, your calculations are correct based on the calculation. See the details in the IRS link below. Be sure you check the final test for 2023.

    Thanks for your answer @xmasbaby0 .

    Is this reasoning correct? :

    Exempt from 2019 to 2023 (do not count towards SPT).

    2025: 31 days (Jan 1st to Jan 31st)

    2024: 365/3=121.7

    Total = 152.7 (less than 183 required for SPT, therefore non-resident).
