Fantastic leadership! The district did a good thing in placing the current principal there. He is very engaging and genuinely cares about the students. A very refreshing change from the previous principal. The teachers are awesome and put students' needs first.
Posted by a community member on 1/22/2017In 2014, Kindergarten is still half day, which is complicated for working parents. Also, there is no before and after school on site.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageEden Hall is an upper elementary school (grades 4-6) that that was built 2 yrs ago. My 4th grader goes there & she loves it. Both the school and the school district strive for academic excellence as well as having a well rounded student. Art & music are not sacrificed here like they are in many schools. I'm also amazed by the extra curricular activities that are offered. Expectations are high at Eden Hall and at Pine Richland. The district is in the top 1500 districts across the country. The school building itself is just beautiful, high tech & environmentally friendly.Parent Review16y ago - Mars Area El School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe moved to Mars Area School District two years ago and could not be happier with the Special Education Teachers. They are truly a professional team that are dedicated, caring and results orientated. They focus on positive outcomes for each individual student. This is possible under the direction and leadership of the building principal.Parent Review4y ago - Richland Christian School
