Gone are days when the now fallen giant secondary schools in Kisii were glorified for their excellent KCSE results. It is particularly concerning why these old-time best performing high schools in Kisii are no longer shining.
What remains of their reputation are sharp memories of neatly painted school buses, gates, and classrooms. While a good number of these secondary schools are slowly regaining their mean scores, the rest are worsening by the year.

7. St Angela Sengera Girls Secondary School

Causes of poor performance among fallen giant secondary schools in Kisii
Getting low grades is unwelcome because it means lost investment and time, especially to those from low income families.
On top of that, poor performance is discouraging to parents, teachers, and learners.
Major reasons for poor grades in Kisii based secondary schools include lack of good will from top administrators including the principal and board members.
Most schools also fail because of lacking enough teachers and learning materials.
Finally, internal conflicts stemming on religion and the surrounding community contribute to poor grades in national examinations.
It is uncertain if the incoming CBC curriculum structure will solve these underlying academic problems.
The list of top 10 fallen giant secondary schools in Kisii focuses on institutions that were doing better than the rest about a decade ago. It is worrisome that most of them are still stuck at the bottom in 2021.
