Lilla Edet Municipality reports rising merit scores in years 6 and 9 at Fuxernaskolan and more pupils passing every subject. According to the municipality, upper-secondary eligibility is around or slightly above the national average. A safety survey in year 8 also shows a return to the municipality’s high 2022 level.
What happened?
The information is based on June grades and this year’s safety survey. The municipality says more of the spring’s year 9 leavers met the grade criteria in every subject and that eligibility for upper-secondary school rose clearly. The article does not provide exact percentages or merit scores.
For year 6, the municipality describes an especially strong development: more pupils pass every subject and the overall outcome places the municipality in the top fifth nationally. This is the municipality’s comparison of the latest results, not an independent national assessment presented in the article.

Impact and significance
The school links the development to several working methods rather than one intervention. Teachers have used peer learning, clearer structures, feedback and targeted support. Reading comprehension has received particular attention through teaching pupils how to approach, summarise and analyse texts, which the school believes has also helped in other subjects.
In the younger years, pupils have practised expected behaviour in classrooms, the dining hall and during breaks. The head teacher describes calmer classrooms and corridors as an outcome of this work.
Background
According to the municipality, the year 8 safety survey shows perceived safety returning to its high 2022 level and now matching the Gothenburg region average. The school points to a more visible pupil health team, outreach youth coaches and shared responsibility across professions. Closer cooperation with guardians is also part of the work.
Grades and self-reported safety measure different things. Positive movement in both does not by itself prove that one change caused the other.
Latest update
The results were published on 8 September. School leaders stress that one year’s figures are not the final objective and that work on teaching, relationships, expectations and varying support needs continues. Future results will be needed to determine whether the improvement persists across several pupil cohorts.
