Langa langa secondary reclaims its position among Nakuru's top performing schools
Langa langa secondary school recorded 4 As in the 2023 KCSE results.
Last year Langalanga Secondary School burst into the scene when one of their students scored an A plain of 84 points.
The mean last year was 5.4 in a class of 386 students and the school was able to produce a student who emerged number six countrywide. The last time the school had a candidate who scored an A of 83 was in 2018.
Now fast forward to 2023 and the school now boasts of three As.
John Falistine John scored an A of 84 points, Paul Muchiri secured an A of 82 points and Waithera Gathungu scored an A of 81 points.
The total number of students who sat for exams were 421.
According to the school principal Rufina Nkonge, the discipline was high and there was extra commitment from the teachers.

"The teaching staff got inspiration from last year's results and there was no way we were going to drop the ball this year," she said.
She also attributes this performance to the fear of God and the never give up attitude that the students display.
"Many of these children come from humble backgrounds and therefore the only thing they have going for them is this education. Therefore, when in school, they give it their all," she said.
Mr. Brian Mutwiri who was the class head of the entire form four class is perhaps the happiest individual in the school.

"During the entire period of last year the earliest I would leave this school would be 8 pm. My students would keep me here until late as most of them would extend the normal hours just to get to read a little bit more," he said.
He said that there was a very close bond between him and his students to the point they referred to him as their father.
"In this school, we operate from Sunday to Sunday and we instil the reading culture in our pupils such that they themselves enjoy being in school more than being at home," he said.
