In France there is a mandatory "map" where you can only send your kids to the nearest public schools.

So you've got "good" ones and "bad" ones depending on the neighborhood. So, yes, the best high schools are public, in areas with high rents and property prices.

Additionally, the best high schools select their students on academics, proof of residence, cover letter, letters from former teachers, etc. [1]

Not that simple : back in the days the « carte scolaire » was design to avoid that. It’s been jerrymandered in the meantime.

But for instance growing up, the big stink was that those poor projects kids we’re in the same middle school that middle class folks. The trick was to pick German to avoid that and be affected to another school.
