Luis Munoz-Rivera Elementary School

School History and Description

Luis Munoz Rivera School is an historic school which was built in 1923 as the Lincoln School for the black students of Trenton. In 1946, the Public Schools of Trenton were integrated and the Lincoln School was renamed Junior High #5. The school housed both elementary and junior high students from kindergarten to ninth grade. During the 1980’s the elementary school was named Luis Munoz-Rivera School. The Junior portion of the school was discontinued during the 1993 – 94 school year. The Luis Munoz-Rivera Elementary school now utilizes the entire school complex. We have a devoted staff of 64 teachers and support staff who provide quality educational programs and services for approximately 375 students.
