Alliance Girls High School registered 25 straight As in the 2016 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examination results.
Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i while releasing the results on Thursday commended the girl school, and Kenya High School, for being consistent in their results over the years.
“I must commend some girls schools that, unlike many other schools, nearly maintained their achievement of top mean grades in the 2016 KCSE, including Alliance Girls and The Kenya High School. Alliance Girls had 25 candidates with grade A plain as last year while The Kenya High had 21 candidates with the mean grade of A plain, one more than last year,” he said.
Kenya High School came second with 21 candidates scoring grade A.
Girls dominated the top 20 list, with only four boys featuring.
The best overall candidate nationally was Jacob Wekesa of Alliance High School with straight As of 86.794 points.
Only 88,929 or 15.41 per cent of the candidates got grade C+, compared to 169,492 last year.
No results were cancelled, unlike last year where 5,001 candidates had their results cancelled.
