St. Monica’s Girls High School Kitale has staged a remarkable comeback in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), thanks to bold reforms introduced by the school’s new administration.
A total of 494 candidates who sat for the 2025 exams achieved a mean score of 6.5162, up from 5.8202 in 2024—a striking improvement of +0.716.
The 2025 results highlight strong performance in the middle to upper grades.
The school posted 1 A-, 8 B+, 24 B, and 65 B- grades. Impressively, 147 candidates scored C+ while 142 achieved C, reflecting consistent achievement across the cohort.
Only 21 candidates scored D+ and below, showing a sharp drop in low grades.
A total of 245 students earned C+ and above, qualifying for university placement, while 228 scored between C and C-, positioning them for tertiary training opportunities.
Compared to 2024, when high grades were fewer and the overall mean lower, the 2025 results mark a clear upward trajectory in academic excellence.
Principal Elizabeth Buchichi credited the turnaround to disciplined learning, stronger academic supervision, and the commitment of both teachers and students.
“We also thank the Catholic Diocese of Kitale, our sponsors, for walking with us on the journey to academic excellence,” said Ms. Buchichi.
With these stellar results, St. Monica’s Girls High School is fast emerging as a beacon of academic excellence in Trans Nzoia County, raising expectations for even higher achievements in future KCSE examinations.
