St. Peter’s Kotieno Secondary School is associated with Rachuonyo South sub-county, Homa Bay County, Kenya. This updated profile brings together the institution’s school identity and 2026 senior-school classification, KNEC centre information, KCSE results guidance, Grade 10 selection, location and joining requirements. Any unresolved differences between older school directories and current listings are clearly identified rather than treated as verified facts.

The current register calls this school St. Peters’ Kotieno Secondary School and confirms that it admits mixed learners as a day school. The prior article included ‘Mixed’ in its title. The historical directory code J6080543 and P.O. Box 412, Oyugis, link the same institution to the current 2026 KNEC code 41710313 and UIC Y7DP.
Location, physical directions and postal address
The historical listing associates the school with Kasimba sub-location, Kokech / Kasipul, near Oyugis. The postal address used by the old Kenyanlife article is P.O. Box 412–40222, Oyugis. This post box matches a historical school-data record, although its current use must still be checked. A postal town is not proof of the actual campus gate, and older boxes can change. Visitors should request a current campus map pin or clear directions from the institution or the Rachuonyo South education office before travelling or sending original certificates.
Verified school telephone, email and website
A currently authenticated, school-operated telephone number, official email address and school website could not be established from the records reviewed. Parents should request updated contact details from the school office or the appropriate Sub-county Director of Education. Unverified commercial-directory phone numbers and links to paid school-website services should not be presented as official school contacts.
When contacting the school, state the institution’s name and KNEC code 41710313 and ask for the principal’s office, reporting-day arrangements and official instructions. Do not send examination details, identity documents or school fees to an unconfirmed phone number or personal payment account.
KCSE results and school academic performance
The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) oversees the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). KNEC says candidates receive official result slips through the respective schools or examination centres. The current senior-school directory associates this institution with KNEC code 41710313, but the examination record itself is the authority for a particular candidate.
Historic school-register figures, including past pupil counts and staffing, should not be treated as today’s enrolment. No current KCSE mean score was independently verified.
School KCSE comparisons should specify the exact examination year, candidate numbers, mean and grade breakdown. An undated school ranking, an old KCPE-results link or a result belonging to another similarly named school should not be relied upon when deciding where to study.
Grade 10 school selection and available pathways
Kenya’s Competency-Based Education senior-school choices use subject combinations within STEM, Social Sciences, and Arts and Sports Science pathways. Learners and parents can consult the official Ministry of Education Grade 10 Selection System to find the current registered school name, school options and applicable subject combinations. The C4 classification alone does not guarantee that every combination has an available place.
An October 2026 school-directory snapshot identifies approved combinations spanning STEM, Social Sciences and Arts and Sports Science. Published subject lists include technical and creative learning options, but the specific number of places and courses must be checked against the live official intake.
When choosing St. Peter’s Kotieno Secondary School, confirm the registered school identity, KNEC code 41710313 or UIC Y7DP, current subject combinations and available admission places. Consider the learner’s strengths, career goals, transport requirements, teaching facilities and relevant learning support. School listings checked during one admission period may differ in the next.
School fees, reporting and joining requirements
Obtain a dated joining letter and school-specific fee statement directly from the administration. These should explain the reporting date, uniform list, study supplies, any meals or transport arrangements, and payment method. National public-school funding or fee schedules do not substitute for a current school-issued invoice, and school-specific charges must be confirmed before payment.
This is listed as a C4 mixed day school, so confirm commuting arrangements and the local school-day timetable. The historical religious sponsor association does not prove a fee tier or make the school privately owned; the current register records it as public.

Government and school-specific research sources
- Ministry of Education — national education policy and official circulars
- Grade 10 Selection System — school choices and pathways
- KNEC KCSE information — examination and results procedures
- School-specific senior-school directory entry — 2026 classification and identifiers
The school-specific directory reports data derived from Ministry school lists but is not itself an official school registration certificate. It cannot establish current school fees, official phone numbers, vacancies, exact campus entrance or a student’s individual placement. Where the old and new records conflict, school-issued or Ministry-issued documentation takes priority.
