Schools performance Tables?
 

Do they exists in France in any shape or form, Is there anything statistically that shows what shape kids are when they come out of a particular Primary School? Including Private ones.

I may be wrong, but I don't think there are tables for primary schools; however they do exist for colleges and lycees and are based on the brevet and bac;
Why did you want to know?

We are in the process of shifting our kids to a new school, Its a Sacré Cœur Primary school, The decision is based on the fact that we had planned to send them to the Sacré Cœur College "160 students" as its reputation here far outweighs the State College "1100 Students" here. We had a good look around and liked the place, None of the religious stuff is forced in any way. The children also do their homework at school from 5pm to 6pm also being semi private they have no strikes at all, Children appear to be pushed a bit more than the standard state schools which don't get me wrong do work. Because the College is becoming very popular the places are harder to get and children that attend the primary school have an automatic place so we are preempting the shift by a couple of years.

The local school that they already attend is the most popular, But IMHO its been swamped by children to the point were they are now having to build a new school to house the extras, And its a little too relaxed for my liking.

sounds like a good idea! You don't need to convince me as I was a teacher in the private sector in the uk and am seriously thinking of sending our son to one of the local private schools in a year's time as Like you I think he will be a little more pushed and he needs that!
The college my daughter attends has been excellent for her as she needed the section britannique to help bridge the gap between the uk and france, but we don't feel it is right for our son.

It's been a hard decision as no one likes to rock the boat too much where children are concerned, Both our children have started here in maternal at 2 1/2 which has given one of them them good French skills for CP. The teacher student ratio's just work out so much better in the private sector.

mmm; it's why I chose the private sector in the uk; I was able to meet the needs of the children in my class far more effectively as I had half the number of children; the less able were able to be supported and the able to be challenged; better all round!

My two go to the local Catholic primary school. Last year the CE1 and CM1 years started natational testing but as far as I know there are not yet league tables 9will only be a matter of time I fear!)

Both my two have done well so far - smallish classes, good teachers and the desire to push the kids who can while motivating the kids who may struggle a little.
