It has been carried out the factorial analysis and the scale remained with 24 items in 4 factors: Depressed Mood, Social Relationship, Self-Esteem and Autonomic-Physiologic Response. The Cronbach Coefficient has shown good precision (alfa=0,82). Table in percentile and T score were elaborated for: type of school, sex, age, school grade, age range and school grade range. Statistical analysis (Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis) have shown the necessity of specific standards for: type of school (p<0,001), sex (p<0,001) and public school x sex (p<0,001). In the analysis of the children who presented percentile above 75, the Qui-Square showed significant difference for: type of school (x?=11,30 GL=1; p<0,001), sex (x?=9,79; GL=1; p=0,002) and public school x sex (x?=11,13; GL=1; p<0,001). The Children Depression Evaluation Scale has proven to be valid and trustworthy for the use in the Brazilian population, being of great value for mental health research, prevention and treatment. / A pesquisa cumpriu a valida??o e normatiza??o da Escala de Avalia??o de Depress?o para Crian?as (Pereira & Amaral, 2004) em amostra de 626 crian?as de 6 a 12 anos.
