Engineers attended the scene and advised that they would need more time to find the source of the disruption.
It was then confirmed that the building would be closed for the rest of the day.
Pupils who were able to get home safely were allowed to leave the premises.
Those who had belongings in the school were allowed to wait at the site with staff until their possessions could be collected.
A Renfrewshire Council spokesperson said: “Renfrew High closed earlier today as a precaution due to a suspected gas leak.
Gas engineers from Scottish Gas Networks and the council have since inspected all pipework.
"They have confirmed there is no gas leak and that the building is safe, and that the school took appropriate action.
"Parents and carers have been kept up to date throughout the day and the school will reopen as normal on Monday.”
