EDUCATION: For the first time published comparison of the quality of the various secondary schools in the country. The aim is to see how much each school does for the student is able to complete or not and which characters pupil.
Check your local school at the bottom of the matter.
– results show that the county in which you live in and what high school you attend, can have a big impact on how well your school. So it should not be, says Minister Torbjørn Røe Isaksen said in a statement.
Large differences, but schools in Bømlo best
School quality varies between the counties. According to the survey, the schools in the three northernmost counties overall lower quality than the rest of the country. Schools in Oslo and Akershus, according to scientists the best school quality.
School quality is measured on a scale from 1 to 6, where the average grade is 3.1
Rubbestadnes Bømlo arrives very best in country with grade 6. Acting principal on Rubbestadnes widens Secondary school in Bømlo, Weekend Harkestad, got a hectic start to the week.
– We knew nothing about this, so it was a busy day. It is very appreciated and we are both pleased and humbled to be the best in the country, he says to Haugesund Avis. Behind the good results is hard work of both staff and students, he said.
– We have not had time to celebrate yet, but we have hoisted the flag, says Harkestad.
In Rogaland, Karmsund high school that best results with a grade of 4.5.
Rector Kåre Johan Sørvåg think one must take the survey with a grain of salt.
– Such studies have both strengths and weaknesses. That’s unlike how it is weighted hits for individual schools , but it’s nice to get a good result , he said.
Sørvåg says they has many talented employees and students at Karmsund.
– This is their income, says rector continues:
I must emphasize that I am the study leave so that we will be even better, says Sørvåg.
Seven indicators
the survey shows that there is a greater chance to complete if you are one of those who starting at a good school. There are differences between schools in terms of students ‘participation, progression and grades – after it is taken into account differences in students’ backgrounds.
– It is interesting to see that the schools which come out best on school quality are very different in terms of both curriculum and student background. It is also worth noting that schools with high quality, good schools for all students regardless of academic level, says Røe Isaksen.
The researchers have developed a set of seven indicators that should say something about school quality. Completed secondary education in the stipulated time and students’ exams and final grades are included in the calculation.
Bs schools grab
– I want to emphasize that it is important to read the results for individual schools with caution. What is important now is that all school owners grasp the results and use them constructively. Knowledge about quality differences between schools can provide the basis for a more targeted effort towards the schools that are struggling, says Røe Isaksen.
The report is written by the Center for Economic Research, and funded by the Ministry of Education.

This says numbers about school quality:
school quality is stated on a scale from 1 to 6 where the national average is 3.1. Schools that do not with statistical certainty can be said to be better or worse than the national average, are marked with blue background.
For each of the objectives of the overall school quality, researchers calculated a so-called confidence interval – ie an uncertainty margin. All schools with the national average (3.1) within their confidence interval can not with certainty be said to have better or worse school quality than the national average. This goes for around half of the schools that are included in the calculations for SOF.
The results are calculated from students who started high school in 2008 and 2009.
School Quality describes schools’ contribution to pupils’ development, and is calculated from the total of seven indicators, including the percentage of students who complete the prescribed time and average grades on the diploma.
the overall goal of school quality is the average of the seven individual indicators. This is in other words, a broad measure that captures many of the key objectives of secondary education.
Schools that during the period 2008-2014 have been affected by structural changes such as mergers or the like are marked with an asterisk (*).
