Educational equality, as defined in this article, is a condition in which any group of students presents the same performance distribution whose values match the learning experiences that enable them to have a productive and personally satisfying insertion into society. The main objective of this article is to introduce an indicator of educational inequality defined as the gap between the ideal performance distribution and that observed in a given group of students. The analyses presented here show that inequality in Brazilian elementary schools is very large and will never disappear if the improvements continue at the current pace.
