Most accessibility studies are usually related to the number of potential reachable opportunities, disregarding attributes related to quality. Schools are usually distributed in the city, but does the quality of the service in these schools provide spatial equity to access the educational system? This study investigates accessibility to education considering different modes of transport and the quality of schools. It calculates and compares potential accessibility and revealed mobility in a highly unequal context, focusing on elementary schools in São Paulo, the largest city in Latin America. The empirical research reveals disparities between public and private schools regarding the quality and transport mode, unfolding spatial inequity. We hope that these findings provide further insights into better planning our cities for young people to move, study and live.

大多数可达性研究通常与潜在可达机会的数量有关，而忽略与质量相关的属性。学校通常分布在城市中，但这些学校的服务质量是否提供了访问教育系统的空间公平性？本研究调查了考虑不同交通方式和学校质量的教育可及性。它计算并比较了高度不平等环境下的潜在可达性和流动性，重点关注拉丁美洲最大城市圣保罗的小学。实证研究揭示了公立学校和私立学校在质量和交通方式方面的差异，展现了空间不平等。我们希望这些发现为更好地规划我们的城市以供年轻人移动提供进一步的见解，
