Summary

Boonton High School serves 646 students in grades 9–12 in Boonton, New Jersey, and is part of the Boonton Town Public School District. Its results are mixed: graduation is strong, but recent math and science results raise the clearest concern. In 2025–2026, grade 11 science proficiency was 16%, and Algebra I proficiency was 19% in both grade 9 and the end-of-course result—below state results and every nearby school with a reported score in those comparisons.

The school has some clear strengths against the state: grade 11 NJGPA English Language Arts was 85%, compared with 76% statewide, and grade 9 English Language Arts was 59%, compared with 51%. Geometry was also above the state, at 58% versus 50%. But these results do not put the school near the top of nearby comparisons: its grade 9 ELA score was second-lowest among nearby schools, and all eight nearby schools with reported NJGPA math scores were above its 63%. In science, the nearby-school average was 51%, compared with 16% at Boonton. Graduation is a positive counterpoint: 96% graduated in 2024–2025, versus 89% statewide and 96% in the district.

Recent trends add to the concern: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, science proficiency fell 11 points and end-of-course Algebra I fell 11 points, while the gap with the state widened by 10 points in science and 16 points in Algebra I. Grade 9 ELA fell 8 points, though it remains above the state. SchoolDigger ranked Boonton at the 53rd percentile statewide in 2025–2026 (202nd of 434; 3 stars), below every nearby school in the comparison. The school reported a 10.4:1 student-teacher ratio and 33% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the highest rate among nearby schools with the same measure and year. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings were notably higher for English Language Learner Students (76th percentile) than overall, and lower for Asian Students (22nd percentile).
