Abstract

The induction of external evaluations on school work has been unveiled in several surveys.
Aiming to deepen the investigation on this theme, this article presents the results of an investigation that
aimed to analyze empirical evidence of how school network, at different levels, organize their actions to
improve their performance. This article is based on a research that sought to understand how these
evaluations impact the decisions and actions of a school network. It discusses the capture of educational
objectives by improving the indexes, taking for analysis both the level of the municipal secretary of
education and schools. From interviews with the secretary of education and school managers, as well as
focus groups with teachers, our analysis not only highlights the actions adopted in the network but also
indicates some surrender to the managerialist logic that colonizes educational policy today.
