The Lincoln Park Public Schools are a community public school district that serves students in Kindergarten through eighth grade from Lincoln Park, in Morris County, New Jersey, United States.

As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's two schools had an enrollment of 873 students and 66.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.07:1.^[1]

The district is 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.^[3]

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.^[4] 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.^[5]
