Our son has been enrolled at Fortis Academy for two years. We initially had high expectations that, despite his autism diagnosis, he would thrive academically and emotionally. While he excels academically, he struggles with emotional regulation, which is common among children on the autism spectrum. An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is in place, yet he continues to face suspension. Unfortunately, his teacher, Ms. James, does not participate in his IEP meetings, citing illness during the last behavior meeting. The principal, Ms. Dixon also fails to attend these meetings. In our previous interactions with the principal, we have observed a lack of empathy and understanding for students with disabilities. If you are considering enrolling your child at Fortis Academy, we advise you to exercise caution and explore alternative options. We recommend speaking with other parents of children with disabilities to gather insights into schools that effectively accommodate special needs.

The teachers there have no patience with school age children. They yell at them, and call for extra support for every single incident. Most of them antagonize the children. The principal is rude and disrespectful to parents and staff. She focuses on attendance more than teaching the students. The school does not honor the IEPs or support the students with disabilities. Worse school in Washtenaw County.
People there are so nonsense that they obligate children to be outside during the Winter. Even if you ask them to not go outside because you have sinusitis, they obligate you. It's so ridiculous that people who live in a could place have no sense about the diseases that can get worse on winter.
I love this school.Especially how the teachers tell students to shut up.I also love the fact that year seven has the highest behaviour rate in the entire School.And the school it self is in GREAT condition as there is paint coming of most of all the walls and writing all over the toilets.I also love how generous they are to supply us with chewed up under all the tables. The fact that fotis it is one of the worst schools in all of Birmingham makes it a lot better.If you want your child to develop an anger issues get no education and mentally abuse by teachers and physically abused by students then I highly recommend.
My advice from a mother of four children within this school do not send your child to fortis academy under any circumstances, The teachers are disrespectful immature and abusive and racial towards the pupils with no training on how to conduct themselves or control anything they developed personal vendettas towards children. They have teaching assistants teaching classes who are not qualified for this, they run the school like a prison ensuring pupils are regularly put in isolation or long durations of detention for minor issues without contacting parents resulting in children leaving school at late times which is a big safeguarding issue and is not appropriate. The headteacher is nasty, rude and non caring to your concerns and a good liar if you can even get to see him as your often entertained by the non caring deputy head. During the 3 years of involvement within the school my kids have been emotionally, physically and mentally abused which I have video evidence as I asked my kids to record when they feel threatened and it’s pushed under the carpet by staff which I will be taking this further. Your child will not learn within this school just develop behaviour problems, and a bad report at the end. The school itself is in bad condition not fit for children to learn in prisons are in better condition check it out for yourself. In all there is nothing good to say about this school and ofstead should shut this school down and start again for the sake of childrens education and wellbeing.
Please don't take you're children here, I went here and was brutally beat up by a boy in one of the older years and received a long exclusion, whilst they let him off with a warning, I was hospitalised and had to take months to recover, they then covered up for him and lied to my parents about what really took place, they didn't provide me any safety when I attended here and the way the treat children with special needs was truly disgusting.
