The state of Maranhao has low levels of quality in basic education, as can be seen in the national performance assessments over the years. The problem of low educational quality can be approached and investigated from the view point of several areas. One of them is the use of Educational Data Mining, which is increasingly present in scientific studies, and is also used to support decision-making by public policy makers. However, research with data from a geographic region, or a particular location, may still be scarce, as is the case in the state of Maranhao. This research aims to understand what are the factors that influence the quality of public education in the state of Maranhao. For this purpose, data mining techniques were used, such as exploratory data analysis, correlation analysis, factor analysis, regression and decision tree. The data used are from state public high schools in Maranhao. Results of this study show a diagnosis of the state's educational situation, with the identification of what significantly influences the performance of education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
