Why this score?
Skolkoll score is Skolkoll's composite indicator based on available data sources. It is not an official quality measure and should be read together with the underlying data.
2 of 5 score dimensions have school-specific data.
When school-specific data is missing for a dimension, the neutral value 50 is used. That does not automatically lower the school, but it makes the score less informative.

Text summary of the chart:
- Pupils: Safety 6.4, Study environment 4.9, Stimulation 4.5, Support 6.2, Anti-bullying 4.1.
- Guardians: Safety 6.9, Study environment 5.3, Stimulation 7.0, Support 7.4.
Automatically flagged gaps
Pupils report lower stimulation (4.5) than Guardians (7.0). (on the 0–10 scale)
Pupils report lower support (6.2) than Guardians (7.4). (on the 0–10 scale)
Pupils report lower safety (6.4) than Guardians (6.9). (on the 0–10 scale)
