El artículo busca entender la manera en que el cambio en la conceptualización del examen del ICFES, a partir del 2000, afectó la importancia de la escuela en la predicción del logro del estudiante. El artículo muestra que la importancia bruta de la escuela, que entre 1997 y 1999 se situaba en niveles similares (entre el 27% y el 37%), se reduce considerablemente con el nuevo examen, ubicándose entre el 10% y el 27% para el 2000. Así, el poder discriminatorio a nivel de los colegios del nuevo examen, se reduce significativamente en las pruebas del núcleo común. Ello es igualmente cierto cuando se aborda la importancia neta del colegio, la cual oscilaba entre el 13% y el 20% en 1999 mientras que en el año 2000 el intervalo en que se movía iba del 6% al 11%. ********************************************************************** The article seeks to understand the way in which the change in ICFES´s exam, as of the 2000, affected the importance of the school in the prediction of the achievement of the student. The article shows that the rough importance of the school, that among 1997 and 1999 was situated in similar levels (among the 27% and the 37%), is reduced considerably with the new exam, being located among the 10% and the 27% for the 2000. Thus, the discriminatory power to level of the schools of the new exam is reduced significantly in the tests of the common nucleus. It is likewise certain when is undertaken the net importance of the school, which oscillated among the 13% and the 20% in 1999 while in the year 2000 the interval in which moved went from the 6% to the 11%.
