“I was a student at Firestone Charter Academy from 2011-2014 and enjoyed my time so much that I came back to volunteer, and teach here.

The community at this school is amazing, and it's one that I have enjoyed being a part of for the past ten-plus years that has pushed me to meet my dreams.” -FCA Alumni

Parent Testimonies

  1. "Firestone Charter Academy helped my daughter, who has been on an IEP since 3rd grade, find her strengths and embrace her differences. We chose FCA because our neighbors raved about it and we are so glad, we have been there for 10 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. FCA is unique because of how much they encourage students to be good humans and look out for the little kids and others who may need a friend. FCA prepared my kids for their future because they got an education that is farther along than those who went to public school."  ~Michelle R.. FCA Parent
  2. "Amazing teachers, truly care for students. The atmosphere at this school feels like a big family. Having parents highly involved helps teachers teach effectively knowing each kid's needs." - Firestone Charter parent

  6. "These teachers work hard to reach every kid in any way they can. There is an entire intervention team to help the teachers with ideas for kids that don't seem to be responding to teaching. Some are better than others, the 5th grade team are wizards, and are able to get more out of my son than any other teacher ever has. I think they are all great." - Firestone Charter 5th grade parent
