We verified how the satisfaction of students with professional education integrated with high school in the State education network of Recife, Brazil is related to school performance based on the Pernambuco Education Development Index (IDEPE).

The results indicated that school students with better performance in the index, are more present. The services provided were also better evaluated by school participants with higher performance, indicating that satisfaction can positively result in the result of the index. This study contributes in a theoretical and practical way by revealing that although the structure is a relevant aspect for the evaluation of students, what most increases satisfaction and performance in school rates is a way in which the services offered by the institutions.<br /><br /></p>}, number={August - December}, journal={Education Policy Analysis Archives}, author={Silva, Mayara Andresa Pires da and Andrade, Jackeline Amantino de and Sales dos Santos, Nayade Kennedy and Melo, Francisco Vicente Sales}, year={2021}, month={Sep.} }
