Ysgol Gyfun Cymer opened in 1988 when the demand for Welsh Education grew. To this day it remains the only Welsh Secondary School in the Rhondda, with around 1,000 students. Pupils who attend the school come from all over the Rhondda, from the 5 Welsh Primary Schools; Llyn-Y-Forwyn ( Ferndale) Ynyswen (Treorchy) Llwyncelyn (Porth) Bronllwyn (Gelli) and Bodringallt ( Ystrad)

Ysgol Gyfun Cymer Rhondda appeared in popular welsh television show Pam Fi Duw? on Welsh Television channel S4C. The long running show gained a large Rhondda fanbase, from both English and Welsh speaking people, because it was featured in a place they knew. For seven weeks of the year HTV used the school campus, and 200 of the schools pupils as extras.

Even more recently the School again featured on S4C in "Cymer Fi", which followed a dozen students as they completed various challenges and tasks. The program followed the students as they went through singing coaching, acting auditions, behavioural problems and rugby aspirations. Ysgol Gyfun Cymer is a school with very high standards and is Welsh-speaking. Behavioural problems are a minority.

Cymer school has a fine tradition with Rugby Union and has a number of former pupils playing in the Welsh leagues. A number of pupils have reached internationals at different age groups with former pupil Geraint Morris playing for Welsh regional side The Celtic Warriors in the European Heiniken cup.

Three sixth form students, Geraint Evans, Liam H. Thomas and Ashley Bateman were selected for the Wales U/18 Rugby League squad. Geraint and Ashley played against the North of England side in Manchester (November, 2006). Geraint also represented Wales U/19 against Australia (November, 2006).
