📊 Comparison: Kemebos vs. Other Top Schools
Here’s how Kemebos stacks up against some of Tanzania’s best-known schools:
| School Name | Form Six Pass Rate (2024) | Average Grade | Region |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kemebos Secondary School | 100% (All Division I) | Grade A | Kagera |
| Feza Boys (Dar) | 97% | Grade A– | Dar es Salaam |
| St. Francis Girls (Mbeya) | 98% | Grade A | Mbeya |
| Canossa Secondary (Dar) | 96% | Grade B+ | Dar es Salaam |
| Ilboru High School (Arusha) | 95% | Grade B+ | Arusha |
Kemebos consistently scores among the highest pass rates in both O-Level and A-Level national exams, outperforming urban institutions that have far greater resources and infrastructure.
🌍 Rural Location, National Reputation
One of Kemebos’ biggest advantages is its focused, distraction-free environment. Located in Bukoba, Kagera Region, the school provides:
- A calm, rural atmosphere ideal for focused study
- High expectations rooted in discipline, hard work, and integrity
- Fewer distractions than many city-based schools
Despite this remote setting, Kemebos has made headlines for competing and even surpassing urban elite schools. The focus is always on results, mentorship, and moral leadership.
🔑 What Makes Kemebos Stand Out?
1. Passionate, Dedicated Teachers
Teachers are selected for subject mastery and a commitment to coaching—not just lecturing. Many have decades of experience in preparing students for national and international exams.
2. Culture of Discipline
Kemebos instills responsibility, punctuality, and structured study routines—ingredients that directly translate to strong academic results.
3. Investment in Academics
Modern labs, ICT resources, a strong library, and regular academic clinics ensure that every student is fully equipped to excel.
4. Parent Involvement & Support
Communication between staff and parents is frequent and transparent, strengthening the learning environment.
👨👩👧 What This Means for Parents & Students

- A higher chance of Division I results

For parents:
- Peace of mind knowing your child is in a safe, structured, and high-performing environment
