Around one fifth of its pupils lived across the English border in Shropshire, and 18% spoke Welsh as a first language as of 2016. Only one pupil was learning English as a foreign language. The proportion of pupils with special educational needs was lower than the national average, and 6% qualified for free school meals, compared to a national average of 17.4%.[1]

As a bilingual school, Llanfyllin High School had a Welsh language stream in which most subjects were taught in Welsh, and an English language stream in which most subjects were taught in English. Some courses were taught bilingually.[2][non-primary source needed] A group of pupils in years 6 to 9 participated in a project named Trochi (Immersion) to increase their fluency in Welsh and allow them to transfer to the Welsh language stream.[3][non-primary source needed]

The school closed in 2020, merging with Llanfyllin Community Primary School to form an all-through school, Ysgol Llanfyllin.[4]
