ALMEIDA, FREDERICO ALVES  y  XAVIER, FLAVIA PEREIRA. Inequalities inside the school: the formation of the repeating students classroom. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2021, vol.37, n.1, pp.109-131.  Epub 08-Abr-2022. ISSN 2447-4193.  https://doi.org/10.21573/vol37n12021.105420.

The objective of the research is to analyze the formation process of elementary school classrooms. The paper uses data from School Census and ‘Prova Brasil’ of municipal schools of Contagem-MG, considering gender, race, socioeconomic status, performance in Mathematics, and grade retention. The results show that the students who experienced grade retention, with low socioeconomic status and insufficient performance, were concentrated in specific classrooms, and grouping of students by certain characteristics was a school decision, although researches show the disadvantages of this form of organization.

Palabras clave : Grade retention; Classroom composition; Public schools; School inequalities.
