History
editThe Fénelon college, named for François Fénelon, was founded in 1869 by priests from the diocese of Paris. Until 1968, it was just for lycée students; it then joined with the Sainte-Marie de Monceau college, run by the Society of Mary (Marianists) and became the Fénelon Sainte-Marie College from Year 11 to the end of schooling. A later merge happened with the Saint-Augustin College, rue de la Bienfaisance, which established primary classes. The establishment then took the name of Fénelon Sainte-Marie Saint-Augustin. Finally, in 1980, with the merger with Sainte-Marie La Madeleine, a girls' school from primary pupils on rue de Monceau and rue de Tocqueville, the school became mixed.
Today, it consists of a college, a lycée and classe préparatoire aux grandes écoles (CGPE), in the sections MPI, MP, PC and PSI.
Some classes are located at 47, rue de Naples and others at 24, rue du Général-Foy.
School ranking
editAs of 2018[update], the lycée was ranked 6th out of 108 at départemental level in terms of quality of teaching, and 12th out of 2277 at national level.[1] The ranking was based on three criteria: the level of bac results, the proportion of students achieving their baccalauréat having spent their last two years at the establishment, and the added value (calculated based on social origin of the students, their age, and their national diploma results).[2]
