A decision by Riokindo Boys, in 2013, to sponsor 60 needy and bright students to join Form One at a time the former academic giant was collapsing is paying off.

Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha said the school was among the most improved and top-performing in the country, with a mean of 9.33 in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination.
