The objective of the study was to identify and compare the sociometric status of students who gothrough the transition from the first to the second cycle of Elementary School. 258 students participated, being 142 of the 6th grade, aged between 10 and 13 years (M = 11.62, SD = 0.88) and 116 of the 7th grade, aged between 13 and 15 years (M = 12.75, SD = 0.90). Data were collected through the Sociometric Indication Protocol. The results allowed to identify the students' positions in the group and the peculiarities of those in the sixth grade, who received more attributions of rejection, popularity, controversial and neglected behaviors than the seventh grade students. In the 7th grade, students have already developed some affective and social aspects that facilitate relationships. The study contributes with data on interpersonal coexistence in the transition in Elementary School, providing pedagogical, interactional and learning actions more appropriate to school adaptation.
