The school management has become key importance in the new management models introduced in the last global educational reforms. In Mexico, the last one of them has emphasized in basic education based in competences, a model which envolves a school management with modals related in performance standards, in which remains involved, in such areas as the managers functions. In the present investigation we valuate the directors managements in federalizated higschools in the state of Chihuahua introduced as for eight standards, considering four perfomance levels. It is a quantitative methodology investigation. In the first part a descriptive study of the results of the standard evaluation has been presented. In the second, a correlational analisys between standards and of the latter with high level of studies taken and seniority in the managers service. The instrument for information collection obtained a reliability index of 0,810 in the Cronbach Alpha test. A representative sample was taken, stratified by modality and region, of 46 schools in which were applied surveys to educational, support and management  personnel. The results show that the managers are on average in a good performance level, but with some limitations. The standards with the most high evaluations were «Efective leadership», and the lowest one, «School network». The Pearson correlation between the standards results with seniority in the service and the last studies level completed was almost nill or not significative.
