SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES & SCHOOLS PEER REVIEW COMMITTEE EXIT REPORT Having
someplace to go is HOME. Having
someone to LOVE is FAMILY. Having
both is a BLESSING. Feelings of worth can flourish only in
an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes tolerated,
communication is open, and rules are flexible—this is the kind of atmosphere
that is found in a nurturing family—Mount Carmel Academy. The Peer Review Team has found that The Peer Review Team CERTIFIES that
the school has satisfactorily met the expectations and responsibilities
involved in the SACS School Improvement Process. Additionally, the Peer Review Team CERTIFIES
that The Peer Review Team expresses its
appreciation to Sister Camille Anne, Beth Ann, chairpersons Cathy and Michelle,
the faculty, parents, and students for your hospitality extended to our team
during our visit. Additionally, the Team wishes the
school and its students all the success that they can achieve in their pursuit
of student achievement and school improvement. Commendations 1. There is a compelling purpose and direction
for the school that serves as a framework for educating the students with the
use of Data Driven Instruction and Standards Based Education. 2. There is a strong feeling of family which
provides for a caring, compassionate, safe, and loving atmosphere for all of
the stakeholders. 3. The dedication and commitment of the

bound students and, in particular, the successes in life of those students who
have graduated from Mount Carmel Academy. Recommendations 1. Disaggregate
