For two consecutive years Moi High School Kabarak has hit the headlines as being among the top performing schools in the country in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education exams.

The school located in Rongai Subcounty has been posting impressive results becoming one of the most consistent academic giants in the country.

In the 2025 KCSE results, the school had a total of 406 students, 82 of whom scored plain As, 150 A-, 119 B+, giving them a mean of 10.6.

In the 2024 results the school posted a mean of 9.89.
Mtaa Wangu sought to find out from the chief principal Elesheba Cheruiyot as to how they have been able to do it.

Ms Cheruiyot in her interview with Mtaa Wangu attributed the success to the discipline and hard work on the students and teachers.

“We always endeavor to finish the syllabus early so that we have ample time to carry out revision, every year we give the candidate class a name, for this particular group we called them the Elishas, and just like Elisha in the Bible, he performed miracles and so we told them they would have to work hard to prove themselves just as Elisha did,” she says.

Additionally, she says the aspect of peer learning has really helped improve the individual performance of the students.

“We usually have group discussions within the class, and we have something we refer to as a blocked timetable, where, for example, if we have a Maths double lesson, we have Mathematics in all the eight streams that we have and therefore have the students mix up and conduct group discussions,” she says.

“Apart from this we also break them down into ability groups, where we classify them differently and this helps us cater to the needs of different students just to be able to ensure they are all at the same level at the end of the day,” she notes.

She says that in addition to this they also have study rooms in the dormitories, and these are for those who may want to extend studies or even wake up early to study.

Covenant Ombati, one of the students who scored an A from the school says that the effort and dedication by the teachers is what really sets the school apart from the other students.

“The moral support and guidance they received time and again from the teachers set them apart from the rest and also putting God first in everything you do is also something they kept telling us time and again,” he says
