Memorial Elementary School

RLC is an incredible school. Many of the teachers and staff are from town and are invested in this school more so than it just being a job, but rather an important part of our community. Mr. Knipper and Mrs. Genatt go above and beyond to make this school a welcoming place where the extra effort is put in every single day to help the children excel in their learning. Officer Billy is amazing, he makes everyone feel safe and the kids love him. There are many opportunities each year to do family activities at the school, like movie nights, holiday celebrations, and learning expositions. RLC is a fantastic school, and we, Moonachie residents, are so fortunate to call it our own.

My child was diagnosed with autism and has made tremendous progress in Lincoln. The entire school supports the special needs classes and students. Their teachers go above and beyond to communicate effectively with us. I know my child is being cared for in a supportive and caring environment at Lincoln.

worst school I've been to but it's not the teachers fault it's the students. in 5-6 grade while I was in this school, I was bullied a lot and made it overwhelming to even go to school and doesn't motivate you. The 6th grade teachers were the best, especially the 6th grade math teacher would recommend this school if your confident

Very good and very sad since my son had to leave the school

A blue ribbon school and it shows. The staff is attentive and works on kids’ needs individually. There’s lots of extra programs too. So many fun activities for the kids too.

I appreciate the school and the teachers—they’ve been wonderful. However, I’ve had a very different experience with the new security officer. Unlike the previous security officer, who was consistently kind and welcoming, the current officer often comes across as rude and selectively unfriendly, particularly toward non-white parents.I’ve personally observed him being friendly and courteous to some individuals smiling, opening car doors, and greeting them warmly in the morning —while showing noticeably negative body language and unwelcoming expressions toward other parents. On one occasion, While some kids are warmly greeted in the morning, I saw him raise his voice at a non-white child telling them to hurry because they were late, which felt inappropriate given that his role is to ensure student safety, not enforce attendance.Several parents have expressed similar concerns. The behavior can feel selective and creates discomfort rather than a sense of safety and inclusion. Security personnel play an important role in fostering a welcoming environment, and it’s concerning when their actions seem to have the opposite effect in the society. Sometimes to the point of escalating tension in the society hiding their anger under the uniform.
