DEPP · 2024–25Its pupils’ family background index (IPS) is 105.6, close to the French average of 105.2: neither more nor less advantaged than most.
Value added, in plain words
Why a high pass rate isn’t the whole story.
The ministry publishes no value added for this school’s brevet (usually because there are too few candidates), so only its pass rate is shown.
A school with advantaged pupils passes nearly everyone, whatever it does; one with disadvantaged pupils can teach very well and still pass fewer. Value added takes the pupils out of the comparison. Near 100% the measure has little room: a school expected to pass 99% can’t show much above it.
French schools get no letter of their own: the ministry’s value added is the fairer measure, shown as it is. A town’s School Grade blends the pass rates and value added of every collège and lycée within 5 km of it.
