In the 2011–2012 school year, enrollment was 1,445.

Argyle Secondary School was built in 1960, and has undergone renovations in 1966, 1969, and 2000. In June 2016, it was confirmed that the school would receive $47.5 million for seismic upgrades, $37.6 million from the province and $8.1 million from the school district. Construction was completed in January 2021 after many delays. In the fall of 2014, Argyle succumbed to a small flood due to heavy rainfall overnight. The flash flood, 100 mm in 24 hours, caused families to evacuate their homes. They traced the source back to a plug in one of the many creeks in the area, which then found another path to flow down which turned out to be Kilmer (where flooding was the worst) and then Fromme. The extent of the damage on the school was the inundation of nine classrooms and the drama department's prop room. The following morning school was canceled as professionals and families alike attempted to reduce the damage to the school.
