This is a list of all national high schools in Kenya. 105 national schools in Kenya are regarded to be top performers.
National schools in Kenya are always given the privilege of choosing students with the highest scores in KCPE exams when the selection is done. Originally there were only 18 national schools in Kenya until 2011 when the then minister of education Sam Ongeri proposed the addition of more than 30 national schools to avert the form one intake crisis.
In 2013, the state elevated more than 30 provincial schools to national status in a bid to promote national unity and social cohesion. In 2014, the Ministry Of Education added more than 27 institutions to the national schools club making the total number of national schools in Kenya to be 105. The other two main reasons for the increase were to promote high standards of excellence and the creation of new spaces to cater to the ever-increasing student population in the country.
