SMK Batu Lintang, Kuching started public service as a government school in 1977 with 13 teachers and 320 students in its opening year. During that year, there were only two class forms: Transition and Form 1. Two years later, the school was resituated at a temporary building in Jalan College. Currently, the aforementioned temporary building is in active use as a school for the blind, SMK Pendidikan Khas. Forms 2 and 3 had already been introduced by this time, supporting its students up till the PMR mass examinations.

In 1982, SMK Batu Lintang offered Form 4 classes. By the following year, SPM examinations were held there for Form 5 students. Similarly, in the year 1988 and 1989, Lower Form 6 classes and STPM exams were offered, respectively. However, the classes and exams at this level were limited to the Literature stream; the Science stream classes were only available by the year 2003.^[1]

The Special Education Integrated Programme (Vision Impaired) was introduced in the school's system in 1986, allowing visually-impaired students (or resource students) to study in the least restrictive environment possible. As such, resource rooms containing Braille typewriters and dedicated teaching materials are provided to these students. The programme is currently active in this school's system.

As of 2012, there were 127 teachers, 17 non-teaching staff and 1591 students taking part in the various academic and co-curricular activities under the school's banner. By percentage, 54.81% of the students were Chinese, 43.68% were Malay, 1.01% were Indian and the remaining 0.50% were of other races.
