Against every compared French town with a collège or lycée within 5 km.
The lycées lift Chinon; the collèges hold it back.
The grade uses every collège and lycée within 5 km of Chinon with 2025 results and value added, public and private under contract: 1 collège (119 candidates) and 2 lycées (420). 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 2 lycées are in the grade. Distances from the town’s point.
