This study aimed to investigate of the role of school on the stay of young people from the rural, considering the aspects that lead these actors to make this decision. The method used was based on the applied of questionnaires and informal conversations (young and adult people, aged between 13 and 45 years old - residents and non-residents in tue locality). The informations were contextualized, where the social processes that lead the people to leave or stay the rural (study, work and income, for example) will be discussed abording the potential of school to interfere or not in this process. Thus, we have collected data from the daily observation of school, as well as from the community dynamics. During the research, it was possible to identified the distance between the school and the daily themes related to the young students. We concluded that this relation between the school dynamics with community is necessary for the selfrecognizing of people and. Furthermore, the school had potential to become itself a important place to discuss the community problems, as well as the choices of the students and stay or non-stay the rural.
