Boonton Town Public School District

The Boonton Town Public School District in New Jersey operates three schools: one high school, one middle school, and one elementary school. The district's schools demonstrate a mix of high-performing and average-performing academic outcomes, with Boonton High School and John Hill School standing out as the district's academic leaders.

Boonton High School is the top-performing school in the district, ranking 123 out of 422 New Jersey high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a high 95.5% four-year graduation rate, low 0.2% dropout rate, and strong performance on NJSLA tests, exceeding state and district averages in English Language Arts, Algebra I, Geometry, and Science. In contrast, School Street School lacks recent NJSLA test score data, making it difficult to assess its academic performance.

The district's schools also exhibit differences in student demographics and resource allocation. Boonton High School has a more diverse student population, while John Hill School and School Street School have a higher percentage of white students. Additionally, Boonton High School has the highest per-student spending at $12,531, compared to $11,679 at John Hill School and $11,454 at School Street School. The district may want to investigate the high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at Boonton High School, to ensure consistent student engagement and learning across all schools.
