Union City School District is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in Kindergarten through twelfth grade in Union City, New Jersey, United States. The district is one of 31 former Abbott districts statewide,〔(Abbott Districts ), New Jersey Department of Education, backed up by the Internet Archiveas of May 15, 2009. Accessed August 21, 2012.〕 which are now referred to as "SDA Districts" based on the requirement for the state to cover all costs for school building and renovation projects in these districts under the supervision of the New Jersey Schools Development Authority.〔(What are SDA Districts? ), New Jersey Schools Development Authority. Accessed August 21, 2012. "SDA Districts are 31 special-needs school districts throughout New Jersey. They were formerly known as Abbott Districts, based on the Abbott v. Burke case in which the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that the State must provide 100 percent funding for all school renovation and construction projects in special-needs school districts.... The districts were renamed after the elimination of the Abbott designation through passage of the state’s new School Funding Formula in January 2008."〕〔(SDA Districts ), New Jersey Schools Development Authority. Accessed August 21, 2012.〕 As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's 14 schools had an enrollment of 10,800 students and 788.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.70:1.〔(District information for Union City School District ), National Center for Education Statistics. Accessed September 14, 2014.〕 The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "A", the lowest 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.〔(NJ Department of Education District Factor Groups (DFG) for School Districts ), New Jersey Department of Education. Accessed September 18, 2014.〕 Through the 2009-10 school year, the city was served by two public high schools, Emerson High School and Union Hill High School. Starting in September 2008 Union Hill and Emerson High Schools merged into a single school called Union City High School in a building on the site of the former Roosevelt Stadium.〔Hu, Winnie. ("After 88 Years of Rivalry, the Last as Us and Them" ), ''The New York Times'', November 22, 2007. Accessed January 2, 2008. "But today’s so-called Turkey Game signals the end of the tradition. Next fall, the two schools will merge in a new $176 million building.... The new Union City High School will take up four-and-a-half acres in the center of the city, squeezed between row houses and commercial strips. It will have a football field and bleachers built on the roof so that players will no longer have to share the facilities at José Martí Middle School."〕 ==Awards and recognition== Woodrow Wilson School was awarded the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education, the highest award an American school can receive, during the 2004-05 school year.〔(U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon Schools Program: Schools Recognized 1982 Through 2013 (PDF) ), United States Department of Education. Accessed September 14, 2014.〕 The Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence was awarded again to Woodrow Wilson for the 2014-2015 school year.〔Goldman, Jeff. ("Which N.J. schools were named to national 'Blue Ribbon' list?" ), NJ Advance Media for NJ.com, October 2, 2014. Accessed December 31, 2014. "Eleven New Jersey schools have been named to the annual National Blue Ribbon list, the U.S. Department of Education announced Tuesday."〕〔(2014 National Blue Ribbon Schools All Public and Private ), United States Department of Education.
