Summary

Firestone Community Learning Center is a 9–12 high school in Akron, OH, enrolling 1,033 students within the Akron City district. In 2025–2026 it is rated 1 star and ranked 658th of 795 Ohio high schools, placing it in the 17th percentile — almost exactly the same level as the Akron City district overall, which ranks 643rd of 773 and is also rated 1 star. The school's longer-term rank history drifts downward: it reached the 47th percentile in 2016–2017, generally floated in the 25th–33rd percentile range through the 2020s, improved to 31st percentile in 2024–2025, then fell to 17th percentile in 2025–2026.

Academically, results are mixed. Firestone is above the Akron City district average in American Government (63.3% vs. 57.9%), American History (67.4% vs. 56.9%), and English II (52.3% vs. 40.2%), and close to the district in Biology and Geometry. Algebra I falls below the district average (32.2% vs. 42.7%), and math is the clearest weakness: Geometry proficiency is only 21.0% and Algebra I 32.2%, both below the state. Firestone sits below the state mark in every reported End-of-Course subject, and its scores swing sharply from year to year.

Two other numbers stand out. The graduation rate is very high at 98.2% in 2025–2026, up from 94.8% in 2021–2022 and above the district rate — nearly matching Copley High School (98.6%). But chronic absenteeism is 58.7%, well above the district's 40.9% and far above Cuyahoga Falls High School (37.2%) and Copley High School (21.3%). Firestone outranks North High School, Buchtel Community Learning Center, and most nearby alternative schools, but trails Akron Early College High School (100th percentile, 5 stars), Cuyahoga Falls, and Copley.
