The distance between high schools can be described statistically on a continuous basis using a summary indicator that takes into account, for a given school, multiple dimensions: the place of residence of the pupils he/she is attending school, the educational offer and the surrounding facilities.

Flight inspection is an operation to verify the necessary techniques and equipment... It allows:
The ‘remoteness’ index makes it possible to summarise in one indicator the concept of remoteness for a given establishment.
to classify all establishments in a continuous manner, from at least ‘remote’ to the most ‘remote’ and thus to provide a relative approach. All the academies, even the most urban ones such as those in Île-de-France, have relatively ‘remote’ establishments;
Intuitively, a first possibility for continuously describing the rural nature of an establishment would be to use, for each secondary school, the proportion of its pupils who reside in a rural municipality. \- to take into account the different aspects of rurality and remoteness of establishments However, it has a twofold disadvantage. This proportion ranges from 0 to 100%. On the other hand, its one-dimensional nature obscures the variety of forms that distance from establishments can take: an establishment may be in a remote situation even in urban areas.
On the one hand, it does not distinguish between different forms of rurality, from very sparsely populated remote rural to sparsely populated peripheral rural.

For a given high school, three types of variables are distinguished:
\- Variables relating to the students who are enrolled in this school
\- Variables related to school supply or higher education present around the institution
Therefore, the approach must take into account several dimensions that relate to the notion of remoteness for a school and its pupils.
