List: The best performers of 2015 KCSE

Just like in the previous year, Education Cabinet Fred Matiangi did not rank schools and candidates based on their performance in the 2015 KCSE. Ranking of schools in national examinations was banned by the ministry in 2014 in order to eliminate cut-throat competition among institutions.

Following the ban, Kenyans devised other ways of knowing how schools and candidates performed in the national examinations. For schools, one can tell by comparing results from different institutions. Media houses resorted to relying on candidates’ feeds to compile a list of the top performers.

In the KSCE 2015 results released by Matiangi, 2,636 students scored the highest mean grade of A (plain).  And 75% (1,976) of the top scorers are male. Here is a list of some of the KCSE 2015 top performers, not in hierarchical order, based on information gathered by The Standard:

1. Adalla Andre Otieno – A (plain). Mean grade of 84 points. Subject scores: English A, Kiswahili A, Mathematics A, Biology A, Physics A, Chemistry A, Geography A, Business Studies A.
