Kisii: Several schools in Kisii County are in a celebratory mood after posting sterling performance including 100 percent transition to university and acquisition of top grades for the first time since the schools' inception. Speaking separately in their various institutions, the school principals congratulated the candidates for the excellent performance, which saw many of the little-known schools outshining the giants in the region.
According to Kenya News Agency, Kiage Tumaini Boys High School Director Dr. Joseph Kiage stated that the entire 47 candidates from the institution are transitioning to university, with the lowest candidate having scored a mean grade of B minus. Dr. Kiage attributed the success of the institution to discipline and perseverance by the students.
Mokubo SDA High School Principal Edwin Nyaboga praised the candidates for their hard work and expressed gratitude to the local community for their support. This collaboration contributed to the school achieving three A- (minus) grades for the first time since its establishment in 1976. Nyaboga highlighted that a scholarship program supporting top KCPE students significantly contributed to the performance. He noted that one of the celebrated students who scored an A- (minus) also excelled in KCPE with 406 marks and benefited from the scholarship, covering all expenses for four years.
Similarly, Nyagichenche Senior Secondary School Principal James Magara reported that the school attained its first A plain grade since its inception, attributing the success to the dedication of both candidates and teachers. Magara emphasized the role of hard work and motivation, which led to 104 students securing direct university entry. He encouraged current form four students to follow the example of their 2025 counterparts by maintaining discipline to achieve even better results.
Riokindo High School Chief Principal Gerald Orina noted a positive improvement in the school's performance, with a mean score of 9.1, up from 9.0 the previous year. However, Orina mentioned that accessing the results was delayed by more than five hours due to system challenges.
Cynthia Nyabeki, a student who scored an A- (minus) from Nyagichenche Senior Secondary School, credited her success to hard work, discipline, and faith throughout her studies.
