Lean on Me was filmed at locations in Paterson, New Jersey.

Other than the school, "Lean on Me" was filmed at The Projects of Paterson and City Hall in Paterson. [Thanks to Cyndi]

Passaic County Courthouse. This was used toward the end of the film as the front of City Hall. This is where the students gathered to "Free Mr. Clark." [Thanks to Brian LoPinto]
