Bois-Colombes grades C− for schools
Against every compared French town with a collège or lycée within 5 km.
The grade uses every collège and lycée within 5 km of Bois-Colombes with 2025 results and value added, public and private under contract: 69 collèges (10,032 candidates) and 43 lycées (9,393). 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.
Which schools do better than their pupils’ backgrounds suggest
The line is the typical French school for each social position index; the band holds the middle two-thirds. A dot’s color is the ministry’s value added.
Schools whose pupils come from better-off homes usually get higher pass rates. The ministry’s value added already allows for that, and for pupils’ ages: of the 99 schools here, 13 are 2 points or more above the expected rate and 51 2 points or more below.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The brevet. The diplôme national du brevet, taken at 15 at the end of collège: written exams in French, maths, history-geography, sciences and an oral, with the year’s coursework. We use the share of candidates who pass.
- The bac. The baccalauréat at 18: general and technological in most lycées, vocational in lycées professionnels. Each is compared only with schools of its own kind.
- Value added. The ministry’s own measure (IVAC for collèges, IVAL for lycées): a school’s pass rate minus the rate expected from its pupils’ social background and age. It is half of each school’s score in the grade.
- Social position index (IPS). A summary of pupils’ family backgrounds from parents’ occupations, about 100 for the average French pupil. Shown for context; never graded.
- Within 5 km. French families don’t pick a school by the town’s name: a collège serves a catchment set by the département, a lycée one set by the académie. So the grade uses the schools within 5 km of where the town’s residents live, and neighboring towns can share them.
- Primary schools. Not graded: national tests (évaluations nationales) aren’t published school by school. The commune’s primary schools are listed.
Questions about schools near Bois-Colombes
Are the schools near Bois-Colombes good?
They grade C−, better than those around 22% of compared French towns and #31 of 35 in Hauts-de-Seine. In 2025, 85.1% of the 10,032 candidates at the 69 collèges within 5 km passed the brevet (−2.9 pts against the expected rate). At the lycées, 89.7% of 9,393 candidates passed the bac (−0.9 pts).
Which collège near Bois-Colombes does best?
Against the expected rate, Collège Dora Maar (public, 3.1 mi): 84% of 137 candidates passed the brevet in 2025, +15 pts against the rate its pupils’ backgrounds predict. On the raw pass rate alone the order can differ; value added is the fairer comparison.
Which lycée near Bois-Colombes does best?
Against the expected rate, Lycée professionnel Daniel Balavoine (public, 0.3 mi): 86% of 86 candidates passed the vocational bac in 2025, +9 pts against the rate its pupils’ backgrounds predict.
How do children get a place at a collège near Bois-Colombes?
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.
Are primary schools in Bois-Colombes graded?
No: France doesn’t publish primary results school by school. Bois-Colombes has 12 primary schools (écoles maternelles and élémentaires), listed above.
