In 2015, the Chester County District Attorney's office began investigating reports of sexting against several freshman football players at the school. The father of one of the accused alerted the District Attorney's office that his son was being bullied and hazed by Conestoga's football team. Tredyffrin Township Police investigated and found that the boy had been sodomized with a broomstick by his teammates, and multiple hazing rituals existed within the team, including "No Gay Thursdays," where players engaged in sexually provocative and explicit behavior with their teammates that might otherwise be considered homosexual behavior, otherwise. The victim of the forced sodomization was charged with a misdemeanor for the sexting, and three other players were charged, and pled guilty to, harassment.

In August 2025, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported on an alleged cover-up by school administration into a gambling ring organized by a long-time soccer coach, who was betting on the outcomes of the school's basketball games.
