Against every compared French town with a collège or lycée within 5 km.
The grade uses every collège and lycée within 5 km of Mably with 2025 results and value added, public and private under contract: 7 collèges (780 candidates) and 7 lycées (1,050). 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.
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 11 schools here, 4 are 2 points or more above the expected rate and 2 2 points or more below.

IPS: DEPP’s social position index, 2024–25, from parents’ occupations (France’s average pupil ≈ 100). It describes; it doesn’t grade. Value added: the school’s pass rate minus the rate expected from its pupils’ backgrounds and ages.
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. 7 collèges and 7 lycées are in the grade; the others publish results without value added. Distances from the town’s point.
Results: DEPP, brevet (IVAC) and bac (IVAL) 2025. Not in the grade: a school with results but no value added published (often a small one). Primary schools: the commune’s own, from the school directory.

Mably’s schools are graded at least as well as any neighbor’s. Towns within 10 km of each other share some of the same schools.
They grade A−, better than those around 79% of compared French towns and #13 of 50 in Loire. In 2025, 90.6% of the 780 candidates at the seven collèges within 5 km passed the brevet (+3.2 pts against the expected rate). At the lycées, 95.2% of 1,050 candidates passed the bac (as expected).
Against the expected rate, Collège Albert Thomas (public, 1.9 mi): 97% of 69 candidates passed the brevet in 2025, +20 pts against the rate its pupils’ backgrounds predict. On the raw pass rate alone the order can differ; value added is the fairer comparison.
Against the expected rate, Lycée Jean Puy (public, 2.3 mi): 100% of 265 candidates passed the general and technological bac in 2025, +3 pts against the rate its pupils’ backgrounds predict.
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.
No: France doesn’t publish primary results school by school. Mably has 7 primary schools (écoles maternelles and élémentaires), listed above.
