This article discusses pointers to evaluate the municipal educational policy built up by parties with antagonistic profiles in the Brazilian scenario, prioritizing measurable dimensions in the areas of access, management and financing of education which are able to demonstrate objective effectiveness of the educational policy in a cycle of management, (FIGUEIREDO, A. M. C.; FIGUEIREDO, M. F., 1986). The discussion is part of a documentary research of indirect national sources and direct sources of two municipal administrations. The survey refers to the 2001-2004 management cycle, the field research was carried out between 2005 and 2007. The proposed indicators are applied in a PT's administration in Londrina and PFL's in Curitiba. The results of the research seemed to confirm these pointers' potential to distinguish the effects of the options of each administration in terms of care, democratization of relationships in the educational system and in school and in the increase of the annual investment.
