Congratulations to the top schools in 2019 KCSE. In my opinion, Maranda High School performed the best.
Why Maranda High School was the best
A total of 704 students sat for the 2019 KCSE exam and the school managed to score a mean grade of 8.90628 which to me is an excellent performance considering the high number of students. It is easier for a school with few students to appear at the top of the ranking table than a school with many students.
Out of the 704 students, a total of 618 will gain direct entry to the University. Imagine that figure, 618, that's a huge number from a single school. Congratulations to Maranda High School class of 2019.
