The problem of the evolution of systems for managing and evaluating the quality of school education is actualized, methodological issues of developing and improving intra-school systems for assessing the quality of education are raised. The results of the analysis of the evolution of systems for assessing and ensuring the quality of education in the Russian Federation, the effectiveness of innovations in this area over a ten-year period after the adoption of the Federal Law "On Education in the Russian Federation" are presented.

In terms of international quality standards ISO 9000 series, the correlation and content of the concepts "internal education quality assessment system", "intra-school education quality assurance system", "intra-school control system" are discussed. Based on the results of theoretical studies, a number of generalizing conclusions are presented related to the problems of the evolution of management systems and the assessment of the quality of school education. The achievements of Russian schools in terms of building and applying internal systems for assessing the quality of education are recorded and discussed.
