Maesteg Comprehensive School
As of September 2017, Maesteg Comprehensive School introduced a mobile phone ban to prevent cyberbullying and changed the uniform.
The school's old site was taken over by the newly established Welsh medium school, Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Llangynwyd, on 3 September 2008 and has recently been downgraded from being a green rated school down 2 spaces to an amber. The school was rated band 2 (one of the higher performing schools in Wales) after being recently upgraded from band 3 as part of the Welsh governments school banding system, with over 55% of its pupils living in the 20% most deprived areas of Wales. 42% of its students achieved 5 A*-C GCSEs including English or Welsh + Maths in 2010.
As of 2020/2021, the school has 82.5% of students in the school on the ALN list.
The school was originally a split site, with a site at Llwynderw, which has since been demolished and is now a residential estate.
