Mt Kenya schools dominate 2025 KCSE with record-breaking results

The Mt Kenya region has once again topped Kenya’s academic rankings in the 2025 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations. Schools in the area secured leading positions, with officials crediting their success to discipline, leadership, and strong community backing. However, detailed national rankings for schools outside the region remain unreleased.

Four institutions from the Mt Kenya region stood out in this year’s KCSE results. Murang’a High School, Nanyuki High School, Bishop Gatimu Ngandu Girls, and Kagumo High School all achieved top marks. Their performance highlights the region’s continued dominance in national exams.

School administrators point to a long-standing culture of academic rigour as the key to their success. Strict discipline, experienced teaching staff, and active parental involvement were repeatedly mentioned as driving factors. Local leaders also emphasised the role of community support in maintaining high educational standards. While the region’s achievements are clear, broader national rankings have yet to be made public. As of now, no official list confirms which schools outside Mt Kenya performed best in the 2025 exams. Education officials have not released detailed school-by-school results.

The Mt Kenya region’s strong showing in the 2025 KCSE exams underscores its reputation for academic excellence. Schools there continue to set high benchmarks, thanks to structured programmes and community engagement. Meanwhile, the full national rankings are still awaited for a complete picture of this year’s top performers.
