Results and background
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.
Collèges: brevet pass rate against social position index
Lycées: general and technological bac against social position index
2+ points above the expected rateClose to the expected rate2+ points belowNo value added published
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 36 schools here, 11 are 2 points or more above the expected rate and 11 2 points or more below.

Neighbors
Tours and the towns around it
Colored by School Grade. Brevet and bac: pass rates across each town’s schools within 5 km.
Saint-Cyr-sur-Loire has the best-graded schools nearby (B+). Towns within 10 km of each other share some of the same schools.
How to read these numbers
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.
They grade B+, better than those around 65% of compared French towns and #17 of 40 in Indre-et-Loire. In 2025, 88.4% of the 2,732 candidates at the 26 collèges within 5 km passed the brevet (as expected against the expected rate). At the lycées, 95.3% of 3,711 candidates passed the bac (as expected).
Which collège near Tours does best?
Against the expected rate, Collège Pablo Néruda (public, 2.7 mi): 99% of 70 candidates passed the brevet in 2025, +9 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 Tours does best?
Against the expected rate, Lycée polyvalent Martin Nadaud (public, 2.3 mi): 91% of 109 candidates passed the vocational bac in 2025, +11 pts against the rate its pupils’ backgrounds predict.
How do children get a place at a collège near Tours?
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 Tours graded?
No: France doesn’t publish primary results school by school. Tours has 68 primary schools (écoles maternelles and élémentaires), listed above.
