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.
