That being said, the following are the best-performing girls’ national schools in Kenya based on last year’s KCSE examinations.
The school was later renamed to Pangani Girls High School in 1963 after Kenya got its independence, and begun enrolling African students. The school’s impressive academic performance since the 80s saw it elevated to a National School in 2011, and last year it had a mean of 9.56.
