The Lincoln Park Public Schools is a community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade from Lincoln Park, in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. [3] [4]
As of the 2023–24 school year, the district, comprised of two schools, had an enrollment of 900 students and 87.7 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.3:1. [1]
For ninth through twelfth grades, Lincoln Park public school students attend Boonton High School in Boonton as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Boonton Public Schools, with Lincoln Park students accounting for a majority of students at the high school. [5] As of the 2023–24 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 656 students and 59.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.0:1. [6]
During the 2015–16 school year, there were about 70 students from the borough attending the academy programs of the Morris County Vocational School District, which include the Morris County School of Technology in Denville Township; The Academy for Mathematics, Science, and Engineering in Rockaway at Morris Hills High School; and the Academy for Law and Public Safety in Butler at Butler High School. [5]
In 2001, the Lincoln Park district sought to sever the more-than-50-year-old sending relationship with Boonton, 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, less than the number of seats that would be allocated based on the percentage of students of population. [7] In April 2006, the commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Education rejected the request, citing the negative effects on the Boonton district of the loss of students from Lincoln Park. [8]
The district had been classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "FG", the fourth-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J. [9]
School superintendent Michael Meyer left his position after an unexpected shortfall of $2 million led to a $27 million budget for the upcoming school year that included 20 layoffs. [10]
Schools in the district (with 2023–24 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics [11] ) are: [12] [13]

The district's board of education, comprised of seven members, sets policy and oversees the fiscal and educational operation of the district through its administration. As a Type II school district, the board's trustees are elected directly by voters to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either two or three seats up for election each year held (since 2012) as part of the November general election. The board appoints a superintendent to oversee the district's day-to-day operations and a business administrator to supervise the business functions of the district. [21] [22] [23]
