It’s a relatively good school, parents are encouraged to join in monthly activities. Like family fun day for instance, (there’s one practically every month) you can see what your child has been learning first hand. Teachers are really dedicated to students. Children will experience many culture differences and fun activities. Like multicultural night, movie night, science fairs. It’s a nice, fun and safe learning environment. Close Quote

PS139 is the heart of the Ditmas Park community. The playgrounds are the social hub of the neighborhood and the school is a place where families from all backgrounds come together. A very caring principal and hard working teachers. Many good after school clubs. Close Quote
