This paper investigates educational evaluation in five municipalities of Ceará, focusing on municipal management initiatives in the conduct of this policy and/or construction of initiatives for its implementation. The quantitative-qualitative nature is characterized as an exploratory research using the case study as a procedure, the database of Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (Inep), and semi-structured interviews with the secretary of education of the municipalities. Seeking to understand the interfaces of the municipal evaluation with the state and federal policies, it was possible to confirm that the municipalities are aligned to the external evaluation policies that are conducted by other entities of the federation. Data analysis did not allow the association of the results of Ideb evolution to the existence of municipal systems, considering its creation and diverse paths through the time, as well as different maturity and structural conditions. The study showed different levels of large scale evaluation policies internalization, since they are more robust in the municipalities that have their own systems. Among the implications of this research, it is important to enroll the interlacement of external evaluation policies in different municipalities, although particular factors of each context must be considered. It must be noticed, still, the relevance of this type of studies to comprehend the complexity of federative issue in the country, specially in what concerns to education.
