The school was established in 1981 between the Logan River and the Beenleigh railway line. It has an enrolment of 650 students and over 100 staff members. The school is co-educational with students from a variety of cultural backgrounds. Three year 8 scholarships are offered: an overall year, mathematics and science laptop, and one for dance. Loganlea State High operates a working property which enables learning opportunities in animal husbandry and farming. In recent years, students partaking in the agribusiness program have been able to spend time on a remote property in Central Queensland in order to gain practical skills as well as a sense of independence.The school opened Knowledge House in 2006. Its purpose is to establish a more Indigenous-friendly curriculum. Knowledge House is a safe space, an Indigenous cultural experience, achieving results in urban areas for jarjums and community. 'Jarjums' is an Aboriginal word for students. The school has facilities such as a dance studio, trade training center, kitchens, 4 science labs and a variety of different classrooms. The school also offers a wellbeing hub. Students participate in group sporting activities as a member of one of Four houses; Pegasus (PEG), Hydra (HYD), Sagitta (SAG) and Ursa (URS).
