National schools are the most sought after high schools in Kenya especially during form one Placement/Selection.
After the official release of the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education, KCPE Results by Knec, every top performer’s wish is to join his or her most preferred national school especially the 61 colonial/traditional schools.
These schools usually pick the Top KCPE candidates in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examinations administered on an annual basis.
This explains why these schools usually produce straight As during the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education, KCSE national exams.

 

One thing you however need to note is that the national schools have a larger capacity and therefore have high student populations. Despite the high numbers, these schools still do post impressive mean scores making it to the list of KCSE Top 200 schools.

The schools are either exclusively for boys or girls.

Here is the list of national schools in Kenya
