Through a case study, we seek to understand how statistics education has been approached in secondary school classroom, and how it provides to the students a contextualization of content and a critical perspective of the contemporary world. The empirical materials were developed through a qualitative approach via observations on the class environment, interviews with teachers and focus groups with students from the third year of secondary school. Then, it was systematized and studied according to the Content Analysis. Although the students can establish some relation between statistics and daily life, the results from this study indicate the way it has been approached in the classroom does not allow them to understand their concepts critically, since it is not approached in a contextualized way.
