The school posted a mean score of 10.163, narrowly missing a target of 10.3 points that it had set earlier in the year.

Students and teachers broke into songs after it was announced that 512 out of 522 candidates had attained university entry grades, with only 10 scoring below C+.

A total of 88 candidates scored A, while 155 students attained A-, 133 got B+, 85 had a B, 33 scored B-, 18 C+, nine C and only one candidate posted a C-.

In 2024, the school had 436 candidates, out of whom 50 scored A, 108 scored A- and 110 attained B+.

Principal Willie Kuria said the school is among the best performers in the Mt Kenya region, alongside other top schools such as Kagumo and Nanyuki high schools, which posted slightly lower mean scores.

Kagumo recorded a mean score of 9.99, while Nanyuki posted 9.683 points.

“We know results are still streaming in, but we have not heard of any other school that has posted better results in the region and, even nationally, we are confident that we will be among the top schools,” Kuria said.

The results are the best the school has recorded in recent years and have set a new target of 10.5 for this year’s national examinations.

Kuria lauded the candidates for their strong performance and commended current learners for maintaining peace, which he said created a conducive learning environment.

He also credited teachers for committing to tight schedules and parents for fulfilling their parental responsibilities and ensuring students remained in school.

Kuria further commended the Catholic Church, which sponsors the school, for providing much-needed guidance and spiritual support.

“The record has been set. Now it is upon the current class to break it,” he said, announcing that a continuous assessment test scheduled for the evening would be postponed to allow learners to celebrate.
