The Middle States Association Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools explains the process of accreditation as, "...a self-evaluation process that schools and school systems voluntarily use to demonstrate they are meeting a defined set of research-based performance standards. The standards examine schools in a holistic way, supplementing student-testing data to provide a more complete measure of a school’s performance and chart a strategic and realistic course for continuous school improvement."

Our Lady of Mercy Academy is Middle States accredited and we are currently in the process of preparing and submitting our 2022-2023 Mid-Term Report.
