GINN ACADEMY

Ginn Academy is a Title I public high school that is part of the Cleveland Municipal school district, located in Cleveland, OH with about 397 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 25 teachers, Ginn Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Ginn Academy is a specialized all-male public high school located in the Collinwood neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. As part of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, the academy was founded by the legendary Glenville High School football coach Ted Ginn Sr. The school is built on a unique educational philosophy that prioritizes character development, mentorship, and brotherhood as the foundation for academic success. Its mission is to provide young men with a structured, supportive environment that focuses on leadership, personal accountability, and community engagement.

The school is well-known for its "interventionist" approach, which pairs students with dedicated advocates who provide consistent emotional and academic support throughout their high school careers. Beyond standard classroom instruction, Ginn Academy integrates life-skills training and a strong culture of discipline, aiming to help students overcome external challenges and prepare for post-secondary education or meaningful careers. By fostering a "family-like" atmosphere, the school seeks to empower its students to become productive, responsible, and successful men who contribute positively to their families and the broader Cleveland community.
