This article aims to problematize the school transportation situation in quilombola schools of the public system in Mato Grosso and to demonstrate how it has affected the access and school performance of students. This research starts from the reality of two of these schools: Escola Estadual Quilombola Tereza Conceição Arruda, from the Mata Cavalo community, and Escola Estadual Quilombola Maria de Arruda Muller, from the Abolição community, both in Mato Grosso. Methodologically, it is qualitative research, whose method used was geertzian ethnography. About the data collection instruments, we used participant observation, interviews — focus group technique — and a semi-structured questionnaire. The results indicate that the precarious condition of school transportation, added to the lack of road maintenance and the time spent inside the vehicles, affects the students school performance, interfering in the fulfillment of the workload, of the school days and of the proposed objects of knowledge.
