The paper presents the results of a research on the relations between the school bureaucracy and the students' families during the enrollment processes in the public school municipal network of Rio de Janeiro in which there are schools with different performances and reputations; therefore, there are differences in demand for the places offered. Although there is specific legislation for enrollment that even includes rules for tie breaker between families in case of greater demand than supply, our data allow us to state that there are different strategies used by families to choose and access the best schools, sometimes governed exclusively by monitoring registration rules and regulations, sometimes through personal contact with state bureaucracy professionals and/or those connected with them. The analysis of this spaces of choice and access to schools reveals a set of sociability between families and the state. Our goal is to describe and analyze this context and the objective results of actions taken by families and school professionals. We conclude that families who establish direct or indirect personal contacts with the school bureaucracy are more likely to access places in the most contested schools. This is because the discretionary actions of the bureaucracy, together with family actions, define students' trajectories based on criteria that are sometimes antagonistic to the republican logic that should organize the distribution of places in schools.
