How we ranked
The list contains upper-secondary schools (gymnasier) in Umeå that have published an average grade-point score — the mean of pupils' final grades on the 20-point scale (E=10, A=20). Schools are sorted by Skolkoll score, where grade points now feed the upper-secondary result dimension.Eligibility to higher education andgraduation within 3 years are shown as context columns. Teacher certification and pupil counts help you read the ranking in context. A metric that none of the listed schools publishes gets no column at all.
Note: "Best" here is a data-driven comparison of public statistics. Differences between schools can be partly explained by pupils' prior results and programme mix; location, pedagogical profile, programme choice and environment also play a large role.Read the full methodology →
