Full List: Top 100 Schools Nationally (KCSE 2017)

Education Cabinet Secretary Dr. Fred Matiang’i on Wednesday released 2017 KCSE results. This was the second time the national results were released before the end of the year they were taken.

As has come to be expected in this Matiang’i era, the number of grade As and A-s was extremely low.

There was a slight improvement in grade As, from 140 last year to 142 this year. But it was a different story in A minuses, which dropped by almost half, from 4,645 to 2,714.

Out of 615,000+ students who sat for the exam, only 70,000 attained the minimum university entry grade of C+. This was a drop from 88,000 who did last year.

Kenya High School recorded the highest number of grade As, but the top student, Naomi Kawira, was from Pangani Girls.

These were the top 5 students.

1. Karimi Naomi Kawira, Pangani Girls – 87.011

2. Sharon Chepchumba, Moi Girls Eld – 86.830

3. Kamau Brian Maina, Alliance High – 86.757

4. Odero Donatta, Lenana Sch – 86.561

5. Harriet Mueke, Mary Hill Girls – 85.956

In terms of school performances, big names were given a thorough beating by relatively unknown ones.

Sing’ore Girls of Elgeyo Marakwet county was the top school in the country, followed by Mombasa’s Light Academy and Alliance Girls in that order. Kenya High School and Loreto High School completed the top 5.

Among the traditionally big names, Mang’u High School came in at number 14, Friends Kamusinga at 15 and Maranda School at 21.

The story was the same for Starehe Boys which came in at position 27.

Here is a list of the top 100 schools in KCSE 2017.
