Lycée Saint-Exupéry, nicknamed Saint-Ex, is a sixth-form college/senior high school in the 15th arrondissement of Marseille, France.
[1] As of 2013[update] the attendance zone of Saint-Exupéry covers those of nine different junior high schools (collèges).
[2] In 2013 Sylvia Zappi of Le Monde described the school as a "lycée ghetto", saying that staff members used that name.
[2] That year former teacher Franck Baillot stated that only poor families attend the school; Zappi stated that wealthier families in the area tried their best to make sure their children did not attend the school.
As of 2013[update] 40% of residents in the high school attendance zone who apply to go to sixth-form/senior high through the Affelnet [fr] procedure were assigned to Saint-Exupéry, but the school only received 19% of the students who could have applied, based on previous year attendance in the corresponding high school zone.
