It followed claims posted on the internet by someone claiming to be a pupil and having accessed the records.
Police would not confirm if the teenager was a pupil at the school, while the school would not comment.
"A young man is currently helping police with their inquiries in relation to a complaint by Eirias High School regarding the alleged misuse of the school computer system," said a police spokesman.
The school's head teacher Phil McTague said he had "nothing to add to what's already in the public domain".
In internet postings to two so-called computer hacking message boards, the individual claimed to have "successfully hacked my school".
The postings also have an image of alleged records that have been downloaded.
The school had earlier been reported to the information commissioner over a complaint that personal information on a pupil was made public through a YouTube video.
