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-Jean-d'Angély with 2025 results and value added, public and private under contract: 1 collège (99 candidates) and 2 lycées (321). 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. 1 school has results but no value added published, so it is listed, not graded. 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.

Chaniers has the best-graded schools nearby (B+).
They grade C+, better than those around 45% of compared French towns and #34 of 44 in Charente-Maritime. In 2025, 88.0% of the 99 candidates at the collège within 5 km passed the brevet (−3 pts against the expected rate). At the lycées, 93.8% of 321 candidates passed the bac (as expected).
Against the expected rate, Lycée professionnel Blaise Pascal (public, 0.5 mi): 92% of 73 candidates passed the vocational bac in 2025, +1 pt 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.
