False. But we ranked the French high schools abroad on that criterion, and the first one is in London.

I got the highest honours at my baccalauréat. The jury's congratulations.
False.
Just an "Assez bien", the most modest of the honours. And even then, it was a close call.
Every year, the newspaper Le Figaro ranks the high schools of France on this criterion. But nobody was doing it for the French network abroad, the one known to the expat families we support at Axiom Academic.
So we did it.
Official data from the AEFE, the agency for French education abroad, 2025 session. The 71 large high schools of the network, those with at least 100 candidates, spread across 29 countries.
At the top, the Lycée français Charles-de-Gaulle in London. 25.7% of its graduates received the jury's congratulations.
The network average? Around 5%.
Behind London: Madrid, Dubai, Lisbon, Berlin.
The full ranking, the methodology and the three-year trend are on the Axiom Academic website.
And you, did you get them, those congratulations?
