Hautmont grades D− for schools, on their brevet and bac pass rates and value added: #192 of 195 in Nord. 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).
75% of 55 candidates passed the brevet at Collège Jacques Brel in 2025, 3 points more than the ministry expected from its pupils’ backgrounds and ages. 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 Hautmont with 2025 results and value added, public and private under contract: 5 collèges (450 candidates) and 2 lycées (409). 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. 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 5 schools here, 1 are 2 points or more above the expected rate and 2 2 points or more below.
| School | IPS | Pass rate | Value added (points) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Collège Jacques BrelBrevet · Public | 69.1 | 75% | +3 pts |
| Collège VaubanBrevet · Public | 65.8 | 64% | +1 pt |
| Collège Pierre de RonsardBrevet · Public | 72 | 61% | ±0 pts |
| Collège Antoine de Saint-ExupéryBrevet · Public | 85.3 | 70% | −3 pts |
| Collège Jean ZayBrevet · Public | 88.1 | 66% | −9 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. 5 collèges and 2 lycées are in the grade. 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.
| Town | Schools | Brevet | Bac |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hautmont 5 collèges · 2 lycées | D− | 67% | 72% |
| Louvroil 10 collèges · 5 lycées · 2 mi | D | 76% | 85% |
| Maubeuge 8 collèges · 5 lycées · 2.9 mi | C− | 78% | 85% |
| Feignies 5 collèges · 4 lycées · 3.5 mi | D | 74% | 86% |
| Ferrière-la-Grande 7 collèges · 4 lycées · 3.6 mi | C− | 80% | 86% |
| Rousies 7 collèges · 4 lycées · 4 mi | C− | 80% | 86% |
| Aulnoye-Aymeries 2 collèges · 2 lycées · 4.7 mi | C− | 80% | 83% |
Aulnoye-Aymeries has the best-graded schools nearby (C−). Towns within 10 km of each other share some of the same schools.
They grade D−, better than those around 2% of compared French towns and #192 of 195 in Nord. In 2025, 67.0% of the 450 candidates at the five collèges within 5 km passed the brevet (−1.7 pts against the expected rate). At the lycées, 71.5% of 409 candidates passed the bac (−6.5 pts).
Against the expected rate, Collège Jacques Brel (public, 2.4 mi): 75% of 55 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.
Against the expected rate, Lycée professionnel Placide Courtoy (public, 0.1 mi): 73% of 108 candidates passed the vocational bac in 2025, as expected 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. Hautmont has 7 primary schools (écoles maternelles and élémentaires), listed above.
