Vicq-sur-Mer grades A− for schools
Against every compared French town with a collège or lycée within 5 km.
The grade uses every collège within 5 km of Vicq-sur-Mer with 2025 results and value added, public and private under contract: 1 collège (68 candidates). No lycée with results is within 5 km, so the grade rests on the collèges alone. Each school’s pass rate and value added are compared with every French school of its kind, then weighted by candidates. 1 school has results but no value added published, so it is listed, not graded. A school can count for several towns.

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.
