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, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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. The Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence was awarded again to Woodrow Wilson for the 2014-2015 school year.
