For the second year in a row, Kapsabet High School topped the list of best schools in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) 2021, with a mean score of 10.688.
It was followed by Kenya High, which got a mean score of 10.42, just as previous year. Three students from the institution were among Kenya’s top 15 candidates.
After being linked to unhealthy competition among schools, the Kenya National Examinations Council decided to stop ranking schools in 2016. However, based on the results collected from the schools, below is a compiled tentative ranking as Schools performed
