This paper aimed to contribute to the debate on the meaning that high school has to youths in the current context. It points out both historical and recent tensions and fights involving high school and articulates them with the results of a field research carried out with high school youths attending a private school known for its high quality. Based on the authors consulted and the research, this study questions the quality of private high school and argues that both that quality and the meaning attributed, even if universalized, would be useless to the construction of a more equitable and egalitarian society.
