This article aims to provide an analytical framework for a sociology of social and spatial distribution of schools. The expansion of republican ideals, resulting from the “school democratization”, engendered a prolongation of studies, diversification of schools, terms of rows and proposed options to the children of both the elite and the working class. Henceforth, not just parents put their children in school. You need to put them in a “good school” that can assure a promising future. This requires knowledge of the education system, the social situation of the establishment, provision of time, economic and cultural capital. That is, a set of provisions and objective conditions, which are distributed in unequal ways between families. After recovering the meaning of segregation for general sociology and education, this text refers to a set of works that articulate social segregation and school segregation, outlining an analytical framework for a sociology of social and spatial distribution of schools, an innovative problem for the sociology of education in the last twenty years.
