Brasil, like many countries in Latin America, has a strong inequality in income distribution and opportunities among its population. In the educational realm, the XXth century saw the democratization of the access to education in this country. However, the expansion of the public educational network occurred without a warrant of quality for everyone and, therefore, the distinction between rich and poor survived in the educational system. This article presents the results of an investigation that, utilizes data from the national exam of secondary education to show the strong correlation between the socioeconomic conditions of the families and the quality of the basic education that can be enjoyed by the students of the province of Rio de Janeiro.
