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 9 schools here, 3 are 2 points or more above the expected rate and 1 2 points or more below.

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 44% of compared French towns and #15 of 24 in Réunion. In 2025, 84.7% of the 872 candidates at the six collèges within 5 km passed the brevet (+0.8 pts against the expected rate). At the lycées, 92.8% of 882 candidates passed the bac (as expected).
Which collège near Saint-Paul does best?
Against the expected rate, Collège privé Maison Blanche (private, 0.4 mi): 99% of 192 candidates passed the brevet in 2025, +3 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-Paul does best?
Against the expected rate, Lycée professionnel de Vue Belle (public, 3.1 mi): 84% of 145 candidates passed the vocational bac in 2025, +2 pts against the rate its pupils’ backgrounds predict.
How do children get a place at a collège near Saint-Paul?
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-Paul graded?
No: France doesn’t publish primary results school by school. Saint-Paul has 34 primary schools (écoles maternelles and élémentaires), listed above.
