Summary:
ZIP code 44313 in Akron, Ohio is home to just one public high school: Firestone Community Learning Center, which serves grades 9–12 with 1,033 students as part of the Akron City district. Because there is only one school in this ZIP code, the useful comparisons are between Firestone and its own district, and between Firestone and the state.
Firestone's clearest strength is completion: 98.2% of students graduate, compared with 90.3% across the district — nearly 8 points higher. The clearest concern is attendance: 58.7% of students are chronically absent, versus 40.9% district-wide, roughly 18 points worse than the district it otherwise outperforms. The school's student–teacher ratio is 14.3. Free and reduced-price lunch data was not reported for 2024–25, and the per-student spending figure of $10,821 dates back to 2018–19, so family-income context and current funding levels are not available.
On 2025–26 End-of-Course tests, Firestone beat district averages in English II (52.3% proficient), American History (67.4%) and American Government (63.3%), but trailed in Biology (40.1%), Geometry (21.0%) and Algebra I (32.2% — 10.5 points below the district). Most striking is the one-year change: Biology fell 15.6 points, Geometry 18.3 and Algebra I 19.9, while English II rose 8.3. In 2024–25 the school was above the district in all six subjects; in 2025–26 it was above in only three. Statewide, Firestone ranks 658 of 795 (17th percentile, 1 star), the same percentile as the district overall. Families should note that this is a school that graduates students at a high rate despite high absenteeism, and whose recent math and science decline is the key trend to watch.
