The case of management has as central problem to identify why a high school of the state network of Rio de Janeiro, reference to the local community, with good results of approval, with monitoring of the school attendance, with planning of pedagogical projects and support of the Local University performs below the goal set by the State Department of Education of Rio de Janeiro (SEEDUC-RJ) in the Rio de Janeiro State Assessment System (SAERJ) in Portuguese Language and Mathematics at the end of Basic Education, in the historical series Accompanied. The dissertation addresses the objectives, limits and contributions of external evaluation in relation to pedagogical and as a counterpoint, the internal evaluation allied to interdisciplinary projects as instruments to favor school performance, highlighting the difference between the evaluation objectives of the mentioned instruments. The objectives defined for this study were to problematize the external evaluation as a collaborative and / or imposing instrument to the learning teaching process, and the mismatch between the pedagogical work developed by the college and what is expected by SEEDUC-RJ through the performance of the college in the external evaluation Of SAERJ. The theoretical contribution of the research is supported by Soares (2002), Vieira (2007), Lück (2009), Soligo (2010), Bonamino and Sousa (2012), Alves e Soares (2013) and Crahay and Baye Search for contributions that can improve learning based on the results of the external evaluation, which is an information tool that presents important data for decision making in the teaching learning process. For that, we used as a methodology a qualitative approach and as instruments: semi-structured interview with the management team and teachers, and documentary analysis. This research confirmed the need for reflection on the use of the data produced by the external evaluation in the school context, on the appropriation of results as a stimulus to the pedagogical replanning and of the necessity of the investment in continuous formation of the teacher and the management team for the improvement of the educational quality, involving students and decision makers.
