The district's high school serves students from Boonton and also those from [[Lincoln Park, New Jersey|Lincoln Park]], who attend as part of a [[sending/receiving relationship]] with the [[Lincoln Park Public Schools (New Jersey)|Lincoln Park Public Schools]], with Lincoln Park students accounting for a majority of students at the high school, including about 290 students as of the 2012–2013 school year.<ref>[http://www.nj.gov/education/pr/1415/narrative/27/2650/000.html Lincoln Park School District 2015 Report Card Narrative], [[New Jersey Department of Education]]. Accessed July 19, 2016. "Lincoln Park participates in a sending-receiving relationship with Boonton High School, which offers a comprehensive educational program for children in grades 9 through 12. The Lincoln Park School District sends approximately 295 students to Boonton High School. Approximately 55 high school age students attend The Academies of Morris County."</ref> 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.<ref>[http://www.nj.gov/education/legal/commissioner/2006/apr/147-06.pdf Commissioner of Education Decision], [[New Jersey Department of Education]].
