The Boonton Public Schools are a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in kindergarten through twelfth grade from Boonton, in Morris County, New Jersey, United States.

As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's four schools had an enrollment of 1,261 students and 115.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.89:1.

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "I", the second-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.

The district's 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, with Lincoln Park students accounting for a majority of students at the high school. 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.

Schools in the district (with 2011-12 enrollment statistics from the National Center for Education Statistics) are:
