Lyon 3e grades B− for schools
Against every compared French town with a collège or lycée within 5 km.
The collèges lift Lyon 3e; the lycées hold it back.
The grade uses every collège and lycée within 5 km of Lyon 3e with 2025 results and value added, public and private under contract: 57 collèges (7,670 candidates) and 60 lycées (10,941). 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. 9 schools have results but no value added published, so they are listed, not graded. A school can count for several towns.
Which schools do better than their pupils’ backgrounds suggest
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 94 schools here, 26 are 2 points or more above the expected rate and 34 2 points or more below.

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.

Against the expected rate, Collège Victor Grignard (public, 2.2 mi): 95% of 130 candidates passed the brevet in 2025, +14 pts against the rate its pupils’ backgrounds predict. On the raw pass rate alone the order can differ; value added is the fairer comparison.

Are primary schools in Lyon 3e graded?
No: France doesn’t publish primary results school by school. Lyon 3e has 35 primary schools (écoles maternelles and élémentaires), listed above.
