The paper focuses on the impact of the use of the School Performance Index - Literacy (IDE-Alfa) by the “Prêmio Escola Nota Dez”, a policy of the State of Ceará, that establishes cut-off points to award and to allocate financial support to public schools. It uses the Propensity Score Matching and multiple regressions methods to observe the effects of the reward/financial support on school performance, equity, and student participation rate on the external assessment of schools awarded and supported from 2009 to 2011, based on schools´ Index of school Performance results (IDE-Alfa) from 2008 to 2010. The results suggest a positive effect on the performance, equity and participation rate of the awarded schools and a smaller, but also positive, effect on performance of the schools with similar characteristics to the awarded ones. The results show a statistically significant impact only on the participation rate of the schools that received financial support.
