Understanding IPS and school districts in Calais
In Calais, the average Social Position Index (IPS) of primary schools is 87, classifying the town as a disadvantaged environment. The DEPP IPS is calibrated to a national average around 100.
IPS is computed by the DEPP (Ministry of Education) from parents' socio-professional category. A high IPS correlates with better average school results, but does not determine the schools' teaching quality nor individual trajectories. It is an indicator of social composition, not teaching quality.
Note: districting may change between primary and middle school, and some families choose private schools or derogations to escape the public school map — which alters the actual social composition of the assigned school. The number of schools and middle-school IPS are not published at the town level in our sources: see the national education directory.

Frequently asked questions
What is the DEPP IPS?
The Social Position Index is computed by the DEPP from the profession and social category (PCS) of pupils' parents. The higher the IPS, the more favourable the pupils' family environment is considered to school success. The scale is calibrated to a national average around 100.
Does IPS predict school quality?
IPS predicts average school performance, but does not measure pedagogy. An IPS 110 school with a poor educational project may underperform; an IPS 90 school with a motivated team may do better. To cross-check with DNB / Bac results (DEPP IVAL), inspections, and team stability.
How to find the school district in Calais?
School districting is set by the town hall (primary) and the department (middle school). Ask the school map from the education service of the Calais town hall, or check the national education directory which geolocates schools.
Can I apply for a school-map derogation?
Yes, under conditions: medical track, disability, sibling in the school, special sports/music track, proximity to the working parent's home. To request from the DSDEN (primary) or rectorat (secondary) before the end of the previous school year.
