Each edition grades its towns against each other only.
91.0% of candidates passed the brevet at the collèges within 5 km of Saint-Lô, close to Manche’s towns (90.0%) and above compared French towns (87.5%). 4 collèges and 5 lycées with 2025 results and value added are within 5 km (3 miles) of Saint-Lô. Saint-Lô grades B for schools, on their brevet and bac pass rates and value added: #17 of 29 in Manche. The social position index (IPS) is shown, not graded.
The town’s figures are weighted by candidates across the schools within 5 km; the comparison is the median of compared French towns (those with an overall grade).
3 of the 5 collèges within 5 km are private, under contract with the state: they teach the national curriculum and their pupils sit the same brevet. They count in the grade like the public ones. Every school ↓
The collèges within 5 km take pupils from very different homes: the social position index runs from 90.9 at Collège Louis Pasteur to 121.2 at Institut Saint-Lo. It is shown for context and never graded. Results and background ↓

Against every compared French town with a collège or lycée within 5 km.
The grade uses every collège and lycée within 5 km of Saint-Lô with 2025 results and value added, public and private under contract: 4 collèges (340 candidates) and 5 lycées (772). 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. 2 schools have results but no value added published, so they are 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 7 schools here, 1 are 2 points or more above the expected rate and 1 2 points or more below.
| School | IPS | Pass rate | Value added (points) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Institut Saint-LoBrevet · Private | 121.2 | 99% | +2 pts |
| Collège Le Bon SauveurBrevet · Private | 112.8 | 93% | ±0 pts |

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. 4 collèges and 5 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.
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.
Condé-sur-Vire has the best-graded schools nearby (A). Towns within 10 km of each other share some of the same schools.
They grade B, better than those around 65% of compared French towns and #17 of 29 in Manche. In 2025, 91.0% of the 340 candidates at the four collèges within 5 km passed the brevet (−1.8 pts against the expected rate). At the lycées, 95.0% of 772 candidates passed the bac (−0.8 pts).
Against the expected rate, Institut Saint-Lo (private, 1.1 mi): 99% of 122 candidates passed the brevet in 2025, +2 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 professionnel le Bon Sauveur (private, 0.5 mi): 94% of 34 candidates passed the vocational bac in 2025, +1 pt 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. Saint-Lô has 7 primary schools (écoles maternelles and élémentaires), listed above.
