Against every compared French town with a collège or lycée within 5 km.
The grade uses every collège and lycée within 5 km of Saint-Girons with 2025 results and value added, public and private under contract: 1 collège (156 candidates) and 3 lycées (246). Each school’s pass rate and value added are compared with every French school of its kind, then weighted by candidates; collèges and lycées count equally. A school can count for several towns.
The dashed circle is 5 km (3 miles) from the town’s point, the center of where its residents live; the black outline is the commune.
Points: the Ministry of Education’s school directory.
Each with its 2025 result and its value added: how far its pass rate is above or below what the ministry expected from its pupils. 1 collège and 3 lycées are in the grade. Distances from the town’s point.
Results: DEPP, brevet (IVAC) and bac (IVAL) 2025. Not in the grade: a school with results but no value added published (often a small one). Primary schools: the commune’s own, from the school directory.
Colored by School Grade. Brevet and bac: pass rates across each town’s schools within 5 km.

1 No lycée with results within 5 km: that town’s grade uses its collèges alone.
Saint-Girons’ schools are graded at least as well as any neighbor’s.
They grade B−, better than those around 47% of compared French towns and #7 of 10 in Ariège. In 2025, 87.0% of the 156 candidates at the collège within 5 km passed the brevet (−1 pt against the expected rate). At the lycées, 91.0% of 246 candidates passed the bac (as expected).
Against the expected rate, Lycée professionnel François Camel (public, 0.7 mi): 93% of 71 candidates passed the vocational bac in 2025, +5 pts against the rate its pupils’ backgrounds predict. On the raw pass rate alone the order can differ; value added is the fairer comparison.
A state collège takes the children of its catchment area (secteur), which the département council sets; families can ask the académie for an exception (dérogation). Lycée places go through the académie’s Affelnet assignment. Private schools under contract admit pupils themselves.
No: France doesn’t publish primary results school by school. Saint-Girons has 6 primary schools (écoles maternelles and élémentaires), listed above.
