Summary: The present research aims to evaluate the relative efficiency of education in cities of Ceará through the methodology Data Envelopment Analysis. The results showed an average efficiency of 83.6%. In addition, it was noticed that (a) higher expenditures do not necessarily cause efficiency improvement; (b) a high IDS does not always imply good efficiency results; (c) smaller municipalities presented better indexes; (d) GDP may be underutilized in the promotion of education; (e) the increase in the daily workload is not being converted into an improvement in efficiency; (f) teachers with higher education appear to be underutilized. It is concluded that the municipalities of Ceará have relevant potential to improve their educational outcomes, and this increase of results regardless of factors such as size of the municipality or available resources.
