The stabbing reignited concerns over escalating violence against school staff in France. Education Minister Élisabeth Borne confirmed the student had experienced disciplinary issues earlier in the school year, having been suspended twice for disruptive behavior. Despite this history, he was seen as stable and an anti-bullying ambassador at school, holding no prior criminal record.

The aftermath of the attack saw students undergoing emotional distress, leading the school to arrange for psychological support. Reports indicate that experiencing such violence has left teachers and students rattled and further fueled existing anxieties surrounding school safety in the country.
