In my lycee anno 1984 I suppose they were a bit aware of calculators. https://lycee-freyssinet.fr/
But for 1-2 guys having an HP41 (me) and a TI (my guess about another guy), they did not spend time to chase the unicorns but were quite happy to see the weirdos programming them. That was in fact quite rare to see students making builder studies / making concrete the saturday morning and later taking the path of Math Sup/Spe and engineering..
Happy crazy time in a democratic peacefull athmosphere (no politics, no religions, only too much drinking the week-end).
