Boonton Public School

What Boonton Public School does

Boonton Public Schools is a New Jersey K-12 public school district headquartered at 434 Lathrop Avenue, Boonton, NJ 07005, operating under the governance of the Boonton Board of Education and state education regulations. The district serves resident families within the Boonton Town Public School District boundaries and additionally enrolls Lincoln Park high school students through an inter-local sending agreement. It offers standard K-12 academic programming alongside seven differentiated academy programs: AVID (college readiness), Aviation Academy, Business Academy, Criminal Justice Academy, Gateway Academy, STEM Academy, and Teaching and Learning Academy.

The district's technology stack is built on third-party educational platforms rather than proprietary infrastructure. Apptegy powers the district's website and content management, Genesis handles registration for the 2026-2027 school year, Realtime provides the Student Information System for the current 2025-2026 year, and Friday delivers parent, student, and staff portal access for real-time information. Distribution of services occurs through geographic catchment (no tuition charged for district residents), online registration portals, and in-person registration at the Board of Education office by appointment.

As a government entity, Boonton Public Schools does not generate commercial revenue. It is funded by local property taxes and state and federal education appropriations, with no pricing model, investor backing, or revenue mechanics in the conventional business sense. Community communication and marketing are handled through organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram), the district website, and dedicated iOS/Android mobile applications.
