Below averageCompared to all compulsory schools nationally

Limited confidence: the sample is small, so the score may vary more than usual.

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

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. The pupil sample is limited.

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.
