What are the 10 vocational high schools in Pays de la Loire with the highest vocational baccalaureate pass rate?

In order: Lycée Notre Dame (professionnel) (Rezé, 100%), Lycée professionnel Saint Thomas d’Aquin (Ancenis-Saint-Géréon, 100%), Lycée professionnel Dom Sortais (Beaupréau-en-Mauges, 100%), Lycée Adeline Boutain (professionnel) (Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, 100%), Lycée Saint Carlo Acutis (professionnel) (Montaigu-Vendée, 100%), Lycée professionnel Encia (Nantes, 100%), Lycée professionnel Saint Francois d’Assise (La Roche-sur-Yon, 99%), Lycée hôtelier Sainte Anne (professionnel) (Saint-Nazaire, 99%), Lycée professionnel Joseph Roussel (Le Mans, 99%), and Lycée ND du Roc (professionnel) (La Roche-sur-Yon, 98%).

How is the pass rate calculated?

It is the share of candidates who sat the vocational baccalaureate (baccalauréat professionnel), the exam that concludes vocational high school, at the session shown, and passed it, as published by the French Ministry of Education (rates are rounded). Only schools with 30 or more candidates are ranked. Pass rates depend heavily on the students each school takes in; value added, ranked separately, takes this into account.

What is value added?

Value added, calculated by the French Ministry of Education, compares a school’s pass rate with the rate that could be expected given its students’ profile (age, social background, prior attainment): +5 means five points above that expected rate, −5 five points below. It measures what the school adds, not the level of its students.
