St Gabriel Isongo Secondary School, located in Mumias East Sub-County, Kakamega County, has recorded zero government-sponsored university entrants in the 2025 KCSE, after all 176 candidates failed to attain the minimum C+ grade required for direct university admission.
The school has posted a mean score of 3.039, placing it far below the national average, raising serious concerns about learning outcomes at the school.
In January 2024, angry parents, together with Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya, stormed St Gabriel Isongo Secondary to eject David Wanjala, the principal from the school, accusing him of failing to uphold the school’s academic standards

Now you can see the results. Parents you failed to address the issue. Chasing away the Principal was not the solution!
Not every school can produce 100% A’s and university placements.

The school should be appreciated for providing the opportunity and motivation to finish secondary school and come out with a Certificate.
