Abstract
This is an excerpt of a master’s dissertation titled “The influence of cultural, social and economic capitals on the students’ school trajectory success”. It aimed to analyse how cultural capital influences the students' school performance through their family's mores and school experiences, when observing their behaviours regarding musical styles, reading practices and sports activities. The family environment is where people initially acquire cultural capital, being legitimized within a set of socially recognized knowledge and cultural assets. The studies of Pierre Bourdieu through the concepts of habitus, cultural, economic and social capital guided the theoretical reference. We chose the qualitative research method named Bourdieusian praxeology, because it is related to the restructuring of the habitus. The results of the work show how important is the partnership between the school and the family for a successful school performance.

Summary
Large-scale estimates are wide-ranging tools used to evaluate the Brazilian educational system and can be divided into diagnostic tests, formative and summative assessments, being used depending on the educational purpose. Diagnostic assessments, on the other hand, aim to classify students according to their skills and competences based to their learning history, which is clear in the written surveys carried out with students in the first year (during the early years), in the first weeks of class to check each student's writing hypotheses. These estimates show the teacher the routes used and which concepts need to be resumed so the students can acquire knowledge; it is worth mentioning that the students' knowledge is prioritized individually during this evaluation. The work aimed to analyse the school - family relationship in school performance; considering aspects related to knowledge acquisition, family profile, cultural heritage and social mobility
