        Abstract

        In the past few decades, education has been highlighted by the economic literature as an important mean for growth and economic development. The present study aims to identify the determinants for school achievements at Rio Grande do Sul state for the year 2007 through quantile regression estimation. To that end, two different analysis are made, one considering average grades; and another more desegregated, considering individual students proficiency and intra-state regional heterogeneity. The first analysis showed that teachers, students and school director’s characteristics are the prime determinant for average school performance. In regard to individual achievements, socio-economic matters revealed significant effect. Furthermore, significant regional differences on school performance were observed, indicating that to participate in a particular Council of Regional Development impacts individual proficiency.
