As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 662 students and 61.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.8:1. There were 145 students (21.9% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 37 (5.6% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
The high school serves students from Boonton and approximately 300 students from Lincoln Park, who attend as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Lincoln Park Public Schools. The two districts had 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.
