The present dissertation is developed under the Professional Master in Management and Evaluation of Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policies and Education Evaluation of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd / UFJF). The case of management to be studied, aims to investigate the difficulties of the management team of the P.S. Constâncio Correia de Alvarenga has been working to reduce the factors that interfere in dropout in the regular High School and to know the work developed by the school in the face of the abandonment of these students in the last stage of basic education. For a better understanding of the case we present some of the history and challenges of High School in Brazil, in Minas Gerais and in the country of Nacip Raydan. In addition to the analysis of abandonment rates, approval, disapproval and age / grade distortion in the national, state and local context. In the sequence we present the possible causes of the school abandonment, relating there is a theoretical reference. We carry out field work with school education professionals, students enrolled and frequent and students who left school that reside in the municipality (home visit). Several internal and / or external factors were identified as influencing the student's decision to leave school, such as "student disinterest". We discuss these factors taking into account the analyzes of the interviews and questionnaires relating to the theoretical reference to better understand the results of the research. It is possible to perceive the great challenge that the management team has to face the problem, since from the need of the school an action plan with strategies was elaborated so that the school has better results in relation to the abandonment. To conclude, we present a reflection based on the research data so that it can help the school to reflect on its pedagogical practice and to solve one of its challenges, abandonment, which is often out of reach.
