Awesome school my daughter and son have both went to this school and I am looking forward to sending my other son. PS134 has not only gave my kids an awesome time and encouraged them to go to school but they also helped my kids to become proficient in subjects. I would highly recommend PS134 as a school to go to because of their encouraging and strong programs. PS134 is the best school I have seen in my mind. And maybe yours too. there Parent Association are the most caring people and work on brilliant events for the school. The teachers are all really sweet and kind. The principal is very nice and caring. She also lets the students work with other kids from around the district.
