Which is the best compulsory school in Göteborg?

Göteborgs Högre Samskola gr. ranks highest among the compulsory schools in Göteborg with a Skolkoll score of 80/100 (2024/25 school year).

What is SALSA and why does it matter?

SALSA is a statistical model from the Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket) that compares results with a modelled expectation based on pupil composition. A positive residual means the outcome is above the modelled expectation, but SALSA is not a standalone quality grade.
