Special Needs / Support Services
Union City holds the distinct honor of having the lowest classification rate among the Abbott Schools in the state of New Jersey. While the state classification average is 16% and the Abbott average is 18.1%, Union City continues to boast the lowest classification average.
This happened as a result of a district mandate to revamp all support services including special education, speech, guidance counseling, social counseling, psychiatric evaluations, OT/PT evaluations and therapy, Title I and Alternative Education, by bringing them under one umbrella.
