ABSTRACT: This paper analyzes the determinants of education performance of students located in the State of Alagoas. The dependent variable considered is the scores obtained by the 5th grade elementary school’s students on Math tests and, as explanatory factors of the student’s performance, the school environment characteristics, family characteristics, and individual factors of the students. The employed methodology use a hierarchical or multilevel model, more indicated to deal with the hierarchical nature of educational data. In general, the results indicate that individual and family characteristics like gender, color, mother´s education, working condition, doing homework influenced proficiency. Among the school’s variables, highlight the relevance of schools’ physical infrastructure and the importance of teachers with a bachelor's degree. Therefore, we concluded that the grade in mathematics in the analyzed series is highly influenced by the student's attributes, but schools also add value to the students' performance. The model demonstrates that the student's working condition behaves differently between schools. In addition, it we found that the effect of family involvement affects performance less when the proportion of students behind in school is higher.
