    Abstract
    In this project, I have modeled the determinants of students’ performance in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examination within Kiambu County. The selection and allocation process to secondary school for primary schools graduates has posed a great conflict to the interested stakeholders and parents within the education sector. The project’s aim was to find out the effects of private and public primary schooling on a student’s secondary school academic and overall performance. Six secondary schools in Kiambu County were sampled for the study based on their categories and the data on 2009 form – one-cohort students’ performance in their 2013 final examination. Data analysis conducted through exploratory and confirmatory analysis – Ordinal Logistic Regression model using SPSS version 20. The main determinants of a learner’s performance in their secondary school graduate examination were age, primary school type, secondary school type and their marks in Kenya Certificate of Primary Education examination and points. The learners’ Kenya Certificate of Primary Education Examination points, gender, and secondary school category had a significant impact on the learners’ Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education performance, with significance values of 0.000, 0.002, and 0.001 respectively
