Against every compared French town with a collège or lycée within 5 km.
The collèges lift Saint-Junien; the lycées hold it back.
The grade uses every collège and lycée within 5 km of Saint-Junien with 2025 results and value added, public and private under contract: 2 collèges (208 candidates) and 2 lycées (223).

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. 2 collèges and 2 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.

1 No lycée with results within 5 km: that town’s grade uses its collèges alone.
Confolens has the best-graded schools nearby (B). Towns within 10 km of each other share some of the same schools.
They grade B−, better than those around 48% of compared French towns and #4 of 17 in Haute-Vienne. In 2025, 91.0% of the 208 candidates at the two collèges within 5 km passed the brevet (−1.2 pts against the expected rate). At the lycées, 90.4% of 223 candidates passed the bac (−2.8 pts).
Against the expected rate, Collège Louise Michel (public, 0.2 mi): 91% of 88 candidates passed the brevet in 2025, as expected against the rate its pupils’ backgrounds predict. On the raw pass rate alone the order can differ; value added is the fairer comparison.
Against the expected rate, Lycée Paul Éluard (public, 0.2 mi): 97% of 153 candidates passed the general and technological bac in 2025, as expected against the rate its pupils’ backgrounds predict.
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-Junien has 7 primary schools (écoles maternelles and élémentaires), listed above.
