'We have only received results for seven candidates and are not sure whether we will be done compiling the results by the end of the day," said Mr Khisa.
At the nearby Moi DEB, the deputy head teacher, Catherine Kundu, said that they had not yet compiled the marks for the 497 candidates.
The school gained attention last year for 'rejecting' KCPE results despite achieving a mean score of 343.
"We will not speak until we get through the process of compiling the results," said Mrs Kundu.
Marel Academy Principal David Kango said out of the 30 candidates who sat the exam, 12 scored 400 marks and above.
They include Jecinta Barasa (416), Gideon Wamalwa (414), Job Kigan (410), Felistus Shimuli (408) and Naomi Mutheu (405).
Vihiga Kenya Primary School Heads Association chairman Nicholas Otengo said parents and candidates were frustrated following the online hitch.
"We have frustrated parents, learners, and teachers who waited eagerly for the results. The Ministry of Education should have made things easier for them," said Mr Otengo.
Most public schools were yet to access the results by the time of going to press with selected schools posting impressive results.
Some of the top KCPE performers in Vihiga were Denilson Inyanje who scored 415, Arstine Luvandwa (414), Arsene Asubwa (410), Mishael Kahandali (408) and Mitchell Chepkwemboi (402) all from Abundant Life Academy Cheptulu.
Inyanje attributed the good performance to combined effort of teachers and the pupils.
"I always knew I would perform well but didn't expect to be among the top. I am happy and grateful to God for these results," said Inyanje.
Kelvin Balanga, the school head teacher, said: "We have five candidates with over 400 marks and it's a result we ought to thank God for as we also celebrate our 2023 class."
Other academic giants like Shalom Academy and Mululu Primary School were still struggling to access the results due to the technical hitch by yesterday evening.
In Vihiga, a total of 22,283 candidates sat for the exam across 436 centers.
