New KCSE Champions Emerge as Academic Giants Floored

The 2022 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination dethroned traditional top schools as new kings and queens either emerged or made unexpected comebacks to the top in various regions across the country.

An analysis of mean scores posted by various schools reveals new names that rightfully claimed their place at the national exam high table in results released on Friday.

In Nyanza, the Gusii region stole the limelight after a number of its schools featured in the top 100 positions nationally, catching the attention of many Kenyans.

In the same region, Cardinal Otunga High School Mosocho that had been branded a sleeping giant in recent years shot to the limelight by posting an impressive mean of 10.76.

The chief principal Chrispinus Owino said that the sleeping giant was slowly making its way back to the limelight.

“The boys were wonderful and we could read it. We had a wonderful cohort. My teachers and non-teaching staff stood up to the occasion. We are destined for great times,” said Mr Owino.

Other schools that did well in the Gusii region include St Paul’s Gekano Boys’ High School (9.951), Nyansiongo Boys’ High School (9.0), St Mary’s Nyamagwa Girls’ High School (8.823), Nyabururu Girls’ High School (8.631), St Edward Nyabioto Secondary School (8.110), Rigena High School (8.266), Nyabisase Mixed Secondary School (8.025), and Riokindo Boys’ High School (7.830).

Elsewhere in Nyanza, one of the little-known schools that sent more than half of its candidates to university included Kwoyo Oyugis Secondary, which got a mean of 6.476 points.

In Siaya, Bar Kowino Secondary School in Bondo bounced back to the limelight by attaining a mean score of 7.69 in the 2022 test compared to 6.8 in the previous year.

It beat St Mary’s School Yala, which is also in Siaya. Yala had a mean of 7.68.

Bar Kowino Principal Charles Ober said the school was initially a private institution before it was made public to enable local community access to education.

Major Surprises

In parts of the Rift Valley, new secondary schools pulled major surprises to beat academic titans like Kapsabet Boys, Moi High School Kabarak and Moi Girls Eldoret.

Little-known Ossen Girls High School in Baringo posted a mean score of 9.2 to have all the 167 students score a C+ and above.

Ruth Kiptui Girls High School Kasok, also in Baringo, recorded excellent results that secured a mean score of 8.87 to emerge among the top schools in the county. Of the 280 candidates, only two failed to attain a C+ and above.
