Boonton High School is a comprehensive four-year public high school that serves students in ninth through twelfth grades from Boonton, in Morris County, New Jersey, United States, operating as part of the Boonton Public Schools. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1928.
The high school serves students from Boonton and also those from Lincoln Park, who attend as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Lincoln Park Public Schools. The two districts have sought to sever the more-than-50-year-old relationship, citing cost savings that could be achieved by both districts and complaints by Lincoln Park that it is granted only one seat on the Boonton Public Schools' Board of Education. In April 2006, the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Education rejected the request.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 578 students and 49.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.7:1. There were 71 students (12.3% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 25 (4.3% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
The school was the 212th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology. The school had been ranked 109th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 130th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed. The magazine ranked the school 112th in 2008 out of 316 schools. The school was ranked 128th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.
