Artix grades A for schools, on their brevet and bac pass rates and value added: #17 of 40 in Pyrénées-Atlantiques. 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).
Against every compared French town with a collège or lycée within 5 km.
The grade uses every collège within 5 km of Artix with 2025 results and value added, public and private under contract: 1 collège (138 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. A school can count for several towns.
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. 1 collège and 0 lycées are in the grade. Distances from the town’s point.
