2012 KCSE Exam Results – COMING SOON

What is the ministry of education doing about Lenana school? The school has continued to perform poorly yet it is a national school. Is the admistration need to be changed or what should be done?
what happened to chogoria girls? am so shocked they are nowhere?
That listing shows a probe is needed. Why are newer(?) schools doing better than well performing traditional schools? Eg where is Kagumo, Mugoiri, kahuhia, Kianyaga etc?
well done rang’ala girls sec sch.nyanza province.
naivasha girls a god trial but you can do better especially with mrs njenga
I think Nairobi School is improving a year by year. congrats patch.

Well done Orero Secondary School. We are very proud of your continueous academic progress for the past few years. We believe that it is just a matter of time before you make it to the top ten.
That was a good shot from Rang’ala Girls’, ts my prayer that they go on with th same spirit and passion of winning. God Bless.

Congratulations Orero Boys. I can see you are well in national academic map.
Something must be very wrong with the great Mang’u High School. Why has the school to continue bursking in the past glory while the performance is highly wanting. Position 15! This is not where the school belongs, I call upon the teachers and students to go back to the drawing board and ensure that the school resume its rightful position.
This is good information for those looking for a Secondary school for the KCPE 2011 qualifiers. It would be much more helpful if only the schools were categorised as GIrls, Boys and mixed.
The location would help too.
Kudos Limuru Girls Skul!! Al the same still a lot has 2 b done in order 2 put down other National Girls skul ahead n remain de outstanding National Girls skul country-wide. Looking 4wad 2 join u very soon!
I hope to see radical change in Lenana, I love it – my son is there and I will always pray for its performance.

Congrats to the gals schools which made it to top 100
starehe gals, made me proud better than boys. Egerton is welcoming those who passed well for further studies.
Can systems be put in place by the ministry of education to make sure that traditional National schools specifically LENANA SCHOOL perform as per their title requires them to.This is a disgrace to the old boys fraternity!!!!
congratulations to all who sat for KSCE 2011… thats a good performance… Maranda high keep it up. thats amazing.this what we call competition…. thiz year you see a different school becoming number one, next year a diffrent school…But what happened to MASENO BOYS! Hope to see them pooling up next year. Girls you did great, very great. Schools like Ngia, Alliance girls, Kisumu girls e.tc. thats wounderful. keep it up.
Ituru boiz congrat but pull up your socks,dont ashame old boiz who usually do wonders.
State House Girls where are you?. you continue to perform dismally when com paired with your neighbors, i.e St Georges,Moi Nairobi Girls and even Buruburu Girls. We want to see you compete with Pangani and The Kenya High School because your facilities match with that of these schools and you should even be having better facilities because you charge more. We are demanding value for our money
