The collège-lycée Jean-Baptiste-Say is a French public school built in 1895, operating as a collège and lycée as well as offering preparatory classes. It is located at 11 bis, rue d'Auteuil in Paris, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris and bears the name of French classical economist Jean-Baptiste Say (1767–1832). It is often known as JBS, and its students as "Sayens". The lycée is served by the Métro stations Michel-Ange – Auteuil (Paris Métro) and Église d'Auteuil (Paris Métro). In 2016, it was named best public lycée in France by the newspaper Le Monde[1] ahead of Lycée Henri IV.
Part of the building at 11 bis rue d'Auteuil is classed as a Monument historique, by decree of 19 October 1928. The protection covers one of the façades of the building, as well as the interior of two rooms.[2] Since 1954, most of the rooms of the lycée have been named in honour of illustrious people, including alumni who were members of the French Resistance, great scientists, and other famous people.
The lycée has three playgrounds and a small square, as well as an amphitheatre, a "courtyard", and an "honour pavilion", as well as classrooms (numbered 1 to 77). In addition, for a number of years there has been a prefabricated building in the centre of one of the courtyards, containing six classrooms (B1 to B6).
In 2015, the lycée was ranked 29th out of 109 at départemental level in terms of teaching quality, and 255th at national level.[3] The ranking was based on three criteria: the level of bac results, the proportion of students who obtain their baccalauréat results having spent the last two years at the establishment, and added value (calculated based on the social origin of the students, their age, and their national diploma results).[4]
The lycée Jean-Baptiste-Say offers three scientific preparatory classes : PSI, PT, BCPST.
In 2017, L'Étudiant gave the following results for the courses of 2016 :
| Stream | Students admitted to a grande école* | Admission rate* | Average rate over 5 years | National ranking | Rate year-on-year | |
