Teachers and parents of Moi CommonWealth Primary school in Bungoma were left in shock upon release of this year's KCPE examination.
This is after it emerged that the top student from the institution scored 365 marks out of the possible 500.
This they found shocking as in the previous year, the top student from the school had scored 418 marks.
Noting a big drop in performance.
The school had emerged among the top in last year's KCPE examination.
The emotional headteacher from the school, Kevin Wanyama, said he decided to call parents to the school as they kept calling him to inquire about the shocking results.
"Nimepigia subcounty director ako hapa, nikaamua niwaite tu wazazi mkuje kuliuko kila mzazi anapigie simu," Wanyama said.
This loosely translates to "I've called the subcounty director who is here and I decided to call all the parents, as each kept calling."
Wanyama said he also had a child who sat the national examination from the institution but cannot send his results as they are shockingly low.
"Ata pia mimi nimekua mzazi, mtoto wangu amepata 334, mtoto mwenye alijua amechagua shule kama Maranda. Ata sijamtumia matokeo kwa sababu unatuma aje. Maswali niko nayo mengi," the emotional headteacher said.
This loosely translates to "I'm also a parent and my child has gotten 334. A child who chose a school like Maranda. How can I send him such results? I have a lot of questions."
The same county also produced the top student nationally in the exam.
