Merit value vs. expected (SALSAStatistical model adjusting results for student demographics) ⓘ

SALSA compares the school's actual merit value with a modelled value based on pupil composition. School year 2024/25.

220 Actual merit value
229 Modelled value
-9.0 School's own contribution (2024/25)

Municipality avg. (Mariestad): -18.0

−60 0 +60
○ Moderate certainty Standard uncertainty: ±1.1 points (200 pupils)
Medium-sized school — the SALSA score is reasonably stable but individual cohorts can have an impact.

SALSA measures relative performance — not absolute school quality. The model explains approx. 53% of variation; the rest depends on factors like leadership, teaching, resources and pupil selection not captured by the model.
