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 10 schools here, 6 are 2 points or more above the expected rate and 1 2 points or more below.

Neighbors
Saint-Louis and the towns around it
Colored by School Grade. Brevet and bac: pass rates across each town’s schools within 5 km.
1 No lycée with results within 5 km: that town’s grade uses its collèges alone.
Saint-Pierre 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 C, better than those around 25% of compared French towns. In 2025, 75.1% of the 1,001 candidates at the seven collèges within 5 km passed the brevet (+4.6 pts against the expected rate). At the lycées, 88.8% of 1,047 candidates passed the bac (as expected).
Which collège near Saint-Louis does best?
Against the expected rate, Collège Jean Lafosse (public, 1.6 mi): 73% of 106 candidates passed the brevet in 2025, +19 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 Saint-Louis does best?
Against the expected rate, Lycée professionnel Roches Maigres (public, 0.9 mi): 81% of 126 candidates passed the vocational bac in 2025, +8 pts against the rate its pupils’ backgrounds predict.
How do children get a place at a collège near Saint-Louis?
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 Saint-Louis graded?
No: France doesn’t publish primary results school by school. Saint-Louis has 31 primary schools (écoles maternelles and élémentaires), listed above.
