GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This is a small school population wise. Since I started, they have added many "academies" for specific areas of interest. However, only opened to incoming freshman. I felt that variety of courses offered were limited. Teachers are a revolving door, all the good ones leave after a few years. Sports teams were decent, but again limited offerings.

I would like for there to have been more school spirit, cleaner facilities, and more importance assigned to clubs.

Boonton High offers a multitude of AP classes that allow you to try your best. The resources are not always there, but the school spirit is enormous considering the overall population.

Wonderful school, we moved here from Texas for work and I put my son though this system with hesitation. However after getting involved with some of the faculty, I found this school to rival some of the private schools we looked into. I believe the new Superintendent Dr Christine Johnson from Mendha...

I grew up near by, and always thought this school was lower quality until, I my Daughter attended. I must say, it's not at the quality of a private school but better than my high school experience going to Morris Hills. My Daughter is now a Senior and she was accepted to The College of New Jersey.
