This paper compares the performance in the Basic Education Development Index (IDEB) of the state and municipal public schools in a medium-sized city in the countryside of São Paulo. An asymmetry is verified between the results of schools under municipal management and those administered by the state, notably higher. From data obtained from official sources and deepening of the pertinent literature, it was investigated the general design of the proposed municipalization model and its implementation in the studied location. The study concludes that the educational policies formulated and implemented by the municipality effectively result in lower rates of educational success, even if they start from better conditions: greater volume of funds for the execution of its programs and greater stability of the teaching faculty.

Keywords : Elementary school; Education Funding; IDEB; FUNDEB.
