Umeå has a total of 64 active compulsory schools according to Skolverket's register. Preschools, upper-secondary schools and adult education are not included in this figure — they are reported separately.
56 of the schools are run by the municipality and 8 by a non-municipal operator (independent schools). Both are funded by the same pupil voucher.
The count is updated continuously as Skolverket registers new school units or closes existing ones. Skolkoll syncs the register weekly.
