Teunis G. Bergen Elementary School, also known as P.S. 9, is a public elementary school of the New York City Department of Education, located at 80 Underhill Avenue in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. The school was created in the 1930s originally in a smaller building, but was eventually relocated due to overcrowding. At first, the student population was predominately African-American, but in recent years there has been a high population of Caucasians, especially in the lower grades.
Courses
P. S. 9 includes a variety of enrichment activities, including art, singing, technology, music and much more. There have also been
many after-school courses but many were taken away in recent years because of budget cuts. Nonetheless, P. S. 9 continues to include as many after-school programs they can, with the aid of donations.
