Little-known Lugusi Boys High School which has slowly been establishing itself as the new hot spot for Kenyan Premier League and Super League clubs hunting for fresh talent is now a top conversation after it emerged that all students who sat for their KCSE this year got grade E.
The school is known for producing two youngsters that reached the Kakamega County School Games semi-finals and have already signed for Kakamega Homeboyz and three other KPL sides. It also hosts Collins Barasa, a promising midfielder who also sat for his Form Four exams.
Though the Cabinet secretary did not reveal the number of students who got below D mean grade and the bottom schools, Kenyans online have taken to the social media platform to share every detail on schools that performed well in their regions and those that perfomed dismally. Unfortunately though not independently confirmed yet, Lugusi Secondary has been mentioned as one such school which performed extremely low with the 33 candidates scoring a grade E. If true, then the institution shall have entered into books of records as one of the top schools in talent but very poor academically.
Here is a break down of their scores as shared by a KOT.
