This is a study descriptive observational cross-sectional. Data were obtained through interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire with individualized application. Initially, age data were collected, later anthropometric evaluation was performed, characterized by the evaluation of height, weight, body mass index (BMI), which were verified by measuring tape, stadiometer and digital scale and calculator. The students were divided into 5 groups according to the age group established by the Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE). We find 370 (48.62%) females and 391 (51.38%) males. Initially, the groups had an eutrophic range of 82% for boys and 74.13% for girls. With advancing age, it was possible to observe an adequate reduction in nutritional status to 61.34% in boys and 55.68% in girls. This highlights the nutritional transition the country has been through. The presence of the professional nutritionist guided by the PNAE guidelines is a fundamental factor for maintaining the proper nutritional status of the students.
