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.[3]

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.[4] 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.[5]

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.[1]

Awards, recognition and rankings

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.[6] 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.[7] The magazine ranked the school 112th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[8] The school was ranked 128th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[9]

Schooldigger.com ranked the school as 259th out of 376 public high schools statewide in its 2010 rankings (a decrease of 15 positions from the 2009 rank) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the language arts literacy and mathematics components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).[10]

Athletics

The Boonton High School Bombers[2] compete in the Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC), which includes public and private high schools in Morris and Sussex counties, following a reorganization of sports leagues in Northern New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).[11] Before the 2010 realignment, the school had competed in the Colonial Hills Conference, which includes public and private high schools in Essex, Morris and Somerset counties.[12] With 437 students in grades 10-12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2015-16 school year as North I, Group I for most athletic competition purposes, which included schools with an enrollment of 187 to 490 students in that grade range.[13]

The school participates in a cooperative ice hockey program with Mountain Lakes High School as the host school / lead agency, under an agreement that expires at the end of the 2017-18 school year.[14]

The boys' lacrosse team defeated Montclair High School to win the 1976 NJSIAA state championship, after losing to Montclair in the state finals in both 1974 and 1975.[15]

The girls field hockey team won the North II Group II state sectional championships in 1987, 1988, 1991, 1992, 1994, North II Group I in 1998, North I Group I in 2004. The team was the runner up for the Group II state championship in 1991 and 1992, and for the Group I title in 1998.[16]

The football team won the NJSIAA North I Group I state sectional championship in 2003.[17]
