How Head Teachers Can Use Exam Analysis Without Becoming Data Analysts
SomaPro Team · September 19, 2026 · 1 min read
Mean scores, grade distribution, and subject rankings help academic meetings. You do not need complex software jargon to use them well.
Academic meetings often stall because results arrive as raw mark sheets. Leadership needs answers to simple questions:
- What was the class mean?
- Which subjects are dragging performance?
- Who improved since opener or mid-term?
- Which stream is ahead?
Useful exam analysis for Kenyan schools usually includes:
1. Grade distribution (A to E)
2. Subject means
3. Stream comparison
4. Student rankings with improvement since the previous exam
5. A PDF you can share with the board
The point is action. If Mathematics is below the class mean, the conversation becomes coaching and remedial planning, not another spreadsheet hunt.
SomaPro's exam analysis is designed for that meeting room moment: filter by term and exam type, read the graphs, export the PDF, and move on to decisions.
