Composite indexA composite index on a 0–100 scale. The number is not a percentile or the share of schools with a lower score. 50 is the scale midpoint, not a measured national average.Skolkoll score · scale 0–100
Skolkoll Score 49 out of 100. The scale goes from 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest). Composite index.

A composite of five open data sources — a starting point, not a grade.

The score reflects results directly. Given the pupil intake, the school still performs in line with expectations — see value-added.

Data coverageMedium3/5
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.

3 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.

What is the Skolkoll Score?

Results in line with the pupil intakeA statistical model that compares schools’ results with what is expected given the student composition.Read more in glossary →What is value-added?The school's own contribution given its pupil intake (Skolverket's SALSA model) — not a quality guarantee, and not comparable between years.

School survey perspectives

Pupils, guardians and staff — same school, different answers

Survey results broken down by respondent group on a 0–10 scale. Groups can experience the same school very differently — notable gaps are highlighted below.

Automatically flagged gaps

Pupils report lower stimulation (5.7) than Guardians (6.8). (on the 0–10 scale)

Pupils report lower study environment (5.5) than Guardians (6.2). (on the 0–10 scale)

Pupils often perceive the study environment as worse than guardians do — they spend the whole day in the classroom.

Staff results are not published per school by Skolinspektionen today, so the staff view appears only when available.
