Based on piagetian and kohlbergian theory about the development of moral judgment, this research had as its objective to identify the main injustice occurrence in the daily life of an Elementary and Secondary Public School in the West of Sao Paulo State, and compare the different member's perceptions of the mentioned school. The data collection was constituted of a questionnaire application based on the following sample: 156 students, 39 student parents, 15 teachers and 11 staff members, bringing it up to a total of 221 participants. The data were analyzed and compared according to the role performed by each participating category in the investigated school. The results showed that the school is seen as an unjust environment by its members, however, the agents that enable actions considered unjust (teachers, principal's office/teacher co-ordination, students, parents, police and community) are perceived in a different way according to the role performed by each school community member.
