[...] By doing so, the correlation between the social profile of the establishment and academic performance is strongly attenuated, and even tends to cancel out. The attendance of more or less favored students seems to have a weak effect at the college level, even if another research, mobilizedusing a similar methodology in the first degree, finds significant effects in primary education (Davezies, 2005). One of the interpretations of the low correlation, at the college level, is thatthe social profile of the establishments and student results could be that of the support policies for the most disadvantaged establishments, which compensate for the difficulties encountered by these establishments.

[...] Conversely, local policies taking into account the objective of social mix, including for example sectorization or the establishment of multi-high school sectors, can contribute to mitigating the effects of residential segregation. However, their effectiveness requires a precise diagnosis as well as strong local mobilization. Based on these findings, the research presented in this thesis provides tools for the development of such diagnostics. Such tools first involve defining a measure of segregation. Within the framework of this research, the choice was made to use the entropy index. [...]

[...] However, according to several studies, these measures have had limited effectiveness (Garrouste and Prost, 2016). These limitations highlight the interest in policies aimed at improving social mixity in schools, that is, those that aim to promote diversity within schools. This article is part of an approach aimed at analyzing the consequences and mechanisms of social segregation between schools, in the service of public policies in favor of social mixity. Certain educational policies are already focused on improving social mixity in schools, particularly those implemented since the 2010s, with a particular focus on high schools. [...]
[...] Research on the effects of social segregation should also be continued, mobilizing longitudinal studies. The analysis of the effects of segregation could also be completed by considering the long-term effects on orientations, degrees obtained, and professional integration. In addition, it is necessary to broaden the scope of investigations to include intra-school segregation (analysis of the social profiles of classes within each school), considering its link with the pedagogical organization of the school (role of sections or options) and inter-school segregation.
