Lyon 4e grades B− for schools
Against every compared French town with a collège or lycée within 5 km.
The collèges lift Lyon 4e; the lycées hold it back.
The grade uses every collège and lycée within 5 km of Lyon 4e with 2025 results and value added, public and private under contract: 48 collèges (6,772 candidates) and 46 lycées (8,161). 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. 6 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 76 schools here, 18 are 2 points or more above the expected rate and 25 2 points or more below.

Lyon 9e has the best-graded schools nearby (B). Towns within 10 km of each other share some of the same schools.
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.
Questions about schools near Lyon 4e

Which collège near Lyon 4e does best?
Against the expected rate, Collège Victor Schoelcher (public, 1.7 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.
Which lycée near Lyon 4e does best?

How do children get a place at a collège near Lyon 4e?
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.
Are primary schools in Lyon 4e graded?
No: France doesn’t publish primary results school by school. Lyon 4e has 16 primary schools (écoles maternelles and élémentaires), listed above.
