NANYUKI, Laikipia County: Nanyuki boys’ High School has demonstrated exceptional academic performance in the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results, as announced today by Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu. This accomplishment marks a significant achievement for the school in Laikipia County.
According to Kenya News Agency, who spoke to the media at the school on Monday, the school saw impressive results with 15 candidates scoring straight A’s. Additionally, 286 students achieved a C+ grade or above, qualifying them for direct entry to university. Kipkoech noted that this was a notable improvement over the 2022 KCSE results, where only four students achieved A grades, and the school’s mean score has increased from 8.890 to 8.897 this year.
“We are pleased with this significant improvement from last year. It reflects our commitment to excellence in all areas, including sports, drama, and academics,” said Kipkoech. The school had 331 candidates sitting for the KCSE this year, an increase from 237 in 2022.
Nanyuki High School has consistently been a top choice among students seeking admission to National schools. “This year, we were the second most preferred school in the country, following Kabianga High. Approximately 158,000 KCPE candidates selected our school, though we could only accommodate 500 due to space limitations,” Kipkoech revealed.
The principal attributed the school’s success to hard work, student commitment, and strong partnerships with parents. He praised the motivated teaching staff, supportive staff, and the disciplined Class of 2023, who completed over 10 trial exam papers before the KCSE exam. The completion of the syllabus on time by teachers was also a contributing factor.
Among the top performers were Frank Mutuota, Daniel Mamboleo, Adanoor Alinoor Isaak, and several others who scored A grades.
The school’s leadership transition has been smooth, with Kipkoech taking over the reins in January 2023 following the retirement of his predecessor, Oliver Minishi, in December 2022. Kipkoech, who previously served at Emining High School in Nakuru and Kangaru Boys, was recognized in 2016 with the principal award of the year. His leadership is closely watched by key education stakeholders as he continues the school’s tradition of excellent performance.
