Schools of government play a significant role in a public service employee’s life, valuing and qualifying its performance to build a new image of the public service. However, this is a universe of institutions not yet fully known and with few studies. With this assumption, the goal of this article is to outline the scenario of government schools in Brazil, describing and analyzing them critically. In order to do it, we conducted a descriptive-exploratory research, through a literature review on published studies and in websites related to schools, followed by a content analysis based on the criteria used by Aires and partners (2012). The results showed that the states that belong to the North and some states in the Northeast region had a low performance in the analyzed criteria, when compared to schools in other Brazilian regions.
