The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1928.As of the 2020–21 school year, the school had an enrollment of 636 students and 53.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.8:1. There were 153 students (24.1% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 35 (5.5% 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.
