Is it “racist” to conclude that France’s immigrant population in its schools has something to do with the overall results for France?

And that, when compared to the U.K. results, fewer international immigrants arrive in Europe speaking French than those speaking English; which may be, in spite of immigration levels in the U.K., it’s test results were not as low.

Prior to Brexit (and still ongoing until it's finalized), the UK was getting more immigrants from southern and Eastern Europe than it was from Third World countries. The children of these European immigrants tended do fairly well in British schools, because their parents were usually literate in at least some language and usually valued education and job training. In contrast, most of the immigrants in France are from North Africa and other cultures where illiteracy and absence of education are the norm.
