KLEIN, Ruben; FONTANIVE, Nilma; RESTANI, Ana Luisa  and  TELLES, Maria Cristina. O desempenho dos alunos da Fundação Bradesco: uma comparação com os resultados do Saeb. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2008, vol.19, n.41, pp.499-515. ISSN 0103-6831.

This article discusses the evaluation results of students at the schools funded by Foundation Bradesco. The evaluation focused on 5^th year/4^th grade, 9^th year/8^th grade elementary school students and 3^rd grade (senior year) high school students, in Portuguese and Mathematics. The student results were put on Saeb's scale thanks to Inep (Anísio Teixeira National Institute of Educational Studies and Research), which made available items of the tests applied at the Prova Brasil (Brazil Test) and Saeb. The Foundation Bradesco students' performance is much higher, approximately 1 standard deviation, from Brazil's average, both in Mathematics and in Portuguese in all the grades evaluated. When compared with the results of private schools, Foundation Bradesco students' performance is approximately 10 points higher - 20 percent of standard deviation, in the 4^th grade in Mathematics and Portuguese, and equivalent in both disciplines in the 8^th grade, and in Portuguese in the senior year of high school.  Using the index of the Brazil criterion as a measurement of their socio-economic level, we found that circa 55 percent of the 5^th and 9^th years students belong to classes C, D, and E, while at the senior year this percentage is 65 percent. Most students is all grades, however, belong to class C.
