Asumbi Girls School in Homa Bay County maintained its position as the leading girls’ school in Nyanza, even as most female candidates failed to catch up their male counterparts in this year's Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination.

Asumbi, the home to Eric Ademba, who was early this year declared the best Mathematics teacher in Africa by the African Union, was ranked seventh best in Nyanza, in a list dominated by boy schools. It had a mean score of 8.58.
