Photo: Gonedelyon · CC BY-SA 3.0At the collèges within 5 km of Lyon 1er, 92.6% passed the brevet, close to Rhône’s towns (91.9%) and above compared French towns (87.5%). 53 collèges and 58 lycées with 2025 results and value added are within 5 km (3 miles) of Lyon 1er. Lyon 1er grades B− for schools, on their brevet and bac pass rates and value added: #59 of 115 in Rhône. 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).
Around Lyon 1er, the lycées do better than those of 31% of compared French towns, the collèges better than 72%. 95% passed the general and technological bac (−1.8 pts against the expected rate), and 92.6% the brevet (as expected). School Grade ↓
91% of 89 candidates passed the brevet at Collège Victor Schoelcher in 2025, 12 points more than the ministry expected from its pupils’ backgrounds and ages. Results and background ↓
23 of the 57 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 75 at Collège Victor Schoelcher to 154.1 at Collège Aux Lazaristes - La Salle. 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 collèges lift Lyon 1er; the lycées hold it back.
The grade uses every collège and lycée within 5 km of Lyon 1er with 2025 results and value added, public and private under contract: 53 collèges (7,444 candidates) and 58 lycées (10,318). 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. 8 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 89 schools here, 21 are 2 points or more above the expected rate and 30 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. 53 collèges and 58 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.

Lyon 9e has the best-graded schools nearby (B). Towns within 10 km of each other share some of the same schools.
They grade B−, better than those around 52% of compared French towns and #59 of 115 in Rhône. In 2025, 92.6% of the 7,444 candidates at the 53 collèges within 5 km passed the brevet (as expected against the expected rate). At the lycées, 93.2% of 10,318 candidates passed the bac (−1.6 pts).
Against the expected rate, Collège Victor Schoelcher (public, 2.1 mi): 91% of 89 candidates passed the brevet in 2025, +12 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 Magenta (public, 2 mi): 86% of 117 candidates passed the vocational bac in 2025, +10 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. Lyon 1er has 9 primary schools (écoles maternelles and élémentaires), listed above.
