Kamulanga Secondary School is situated in the south of Lusaka about 9km from the Central Business District of Lusaka and is along Chifundo road which is 4km from the Kafue road. Kamulanga Secondary School is a co-education Government School in Jack Compound. The school is within proximity of eight other high density settlements namely; Chawama, Kuomboka, Kuku, Misisi, John Laing, Lilayi, Kamwala South and John Howard. Majority residents of these settlements have a lower economic and social status compared to other urban townships in Lusaka. They are all highly densely populated with most of the residence being poor and living below the poverty Line. Given that Kamulanga Secondary is the first to be established government Secondary school that absorbs pupils from nearly eleven GRZ, Community and private Primary schools within a seven kilometer radius, its position in this community is critical.
