A mixed day with student population of 390 registered as 2 streams school, is burning midnight oil in meeting the set target of 6.0 for the 51 candidates who are a promising class.
St Luke’s Epanja secondary school has worked exceedingly well in attaining a mean score of 5.529 an upward trend from 4.3429 with a positive deviation of +1.186 scored in 2024 KCSE.

The principal shared to education hotspot that he is going to persuade TSC to increase at least the number of TSC teachers who are only 6. Those employed under board of management are 9 putting in mind that the school is struggling in footing for the huge wedge bill.
Epanja secondary don’t have TSC teachers in Kiswahili, Agriculture and Business studies. Though, the few available personnel are a motivated staff who sacrifices beyond their means in ensuring that students’ demands are realized.
The school is on a mission in reducing the tail through a collaborative effort in increasing benchmarking in the best practices especially in mathematics and sciences. Weekend programme is observed willingly without any pay accompanied by creating ability groups which identifies weak areas to be capitalized.
The principal, BOM and P.A have a leeway humanitarian approach that allows students to stay in school despite their looming fees balances,so that absenteeism is dealt with. Students have intensified the reading culture in English and Kiswahili subjects to improve in their mean scores. And the goodwill from the stakeholders is a sure sign that the school is deemed for destiny.

There is promptiness in learning, and aspect that helps in the timely syllabus completion.
The school is a holistic learner evolution which do not only support education, but also co-curricular activities in tandem with the CBC key notes.
An Anglican church of Kenya – Mumias diocese sponsored school does joint exams with other schools sponsored by ACK in the county of kakamega that has helped them to improve in their mean score.
There is capacity building mounted by the KESSHA, ministry of education and the sponsor for all the teachers at the school which shows teamwork and co-operation.
