Some 619,593 candidates scored between 200 and 299 marks while 296,336 candidates got between 100 and 199 marks.
A total of 724 candidates scored between 1 and 99 marks.
A total of 1,244,188 candidates sat the examination countrywide.
This is the second-last KCPE exam, with the last 8-4-4 cohort set to complete primary school next year giving way to the first cohort under the competency-based curriculum (CBC).
The 1.2 million Grade Six learners who sat the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) will however know their results next month since their grading will no longer be required for Junior Secondary School (JSS) placement as previously anticipated.
Speaking at Mtihani House in Nairobi on Wednesday, December 21 when he released the results, Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu said this year's candidates performed better than last year's where the leading candidate scored 428 marks.
