Skolkoll Score 50 out of 100. The scale goes from 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest). 50 is the average. Better than 59% of Sweden’s compulsory schools.

Data coverageHigh4/5
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.

4 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.

3 values need extra caution

This applies only to the values listed here.

This value is missing in full or in part.

This affects

  • Certified teachers
  • Group name
  • SALSA score
  • This staffing metric is affected by FTE definitions, local reporting practices, and temporary vacancies.
  • Annual reports are not real-time data, so group links may lag behind reorganisations or recent ownership changes. Manual overrides are used only as exceptions.
  • SALSA is model-based and becomes less stable for small pupil groups or schools with rapidly changing pupil composition.

Other values here do not have this specific note.
