Resumo: It is known that Brazil faces one of its hardest challenges in education. Educational projects such as the Youth Program Future from Instituto Unibanco allow a thorough investigation regarding assumptions widely studied in academia. Technical Management and financial support for schools served by the program aims to improve student achievement in mathematics and Portuguese language. Focusing on schools in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Program participants between 2010 and 2012, it is possible to verify significant mean impacts on academic performance of participating schools, with the exception of the group of schools in São Paulo - Capital. The allocation of financial resources by school principals allows an association with the school production function. Starting from the hypothesis that this function inputs are served by the categories assigned by the school regarding the School Management (infrastructure), Teacher Incentives (bonuses and awards to teachers) and Student Incentives (bonuses and awards to students) it is possible to study the behavior of the income earned based on these inputs employed. The allocation analysis indicated that the variable Investment in Student Incentive is significant in explaining school achievement tests applied by the Instituto Unibanco for the current year. When analyzing the effect of cumulative investment in time, the category of school management proved significant in explaining the yield obtained by the tests applied by Instituto Unibanco. School principals seem to know the function of school production and know that investments in the category School Management (infrastructure) give long-term outcome, whereas investments in Encouraging Student present more results in the short term.
