National schools at the Coast bounced back even as Light Academy, a private school, maintained dominance in last year's Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education KCSE exam.

Kwale Boys High, Kenyatta Mwatate, Mama Ngina and Shimo La Tewa that have over the years trailed private schools posted good mean scores.
