Union Hill Middle School (formerly Union Hill High School) is a public middle school in Union City, New Jersey, United States, as part of the Union City Board of Education, an Abbott District. The school was built in what was formerly Union Hill, New Jersey, which merged with West Hoboken in 1925 to form Union City. The school retained the name Union Hill High School, however, until the school year beginning in September 2008, when it was changed to its current name.
As of the 2005-06 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,505 students and 113.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.2.[1]
The school was the 233rd-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 316 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2008 cover story on the state's Top Public High Schools. The school was ranked 268th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[2]
Through the 2007-08 school year, the city was served by two public high schools, Emerson High School and Union Hill High School. In September 2009 Union Hill High School and Emerson High Schools converted into middle schools, and a new school, Union City High School, opened for grades 10 - 12 in new a building on the site of the former Roosevelt Stadium.[3]
