Considering the problems that the Colombian society is facing, such as violence, corruption, resignation to corruption, unemployment and inequality, the educational system is called to take on an active role contributing to the formation of new citizens that promote tolerance, respect, solidarity, equality and peaceful coexistence. In this research paper, in the course of this investigation, we analyzed the school social environment, family and neighborhood and its impact on the development of citizenship skills in students of eleventh grade. In Santa Marta, the schools that performed better in the ICFES 2010, presented low levels in the development of citizenship skills. Added to this are reflected unfavorable social contexts and frequent negative actions in institutions; with greater presence in church schools that in civilian schools.
