Ginn Academy, the first all-male public high school in the state of Ohio, was founded in 2007 by Ted Ginn, Sr. with the vision to improve the lives of African-American males living in Cleveland and its surrounding areas. Ginn Academy operates under the auspices of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.
With approximately 450 students, the school averages a 95 percent graduation rate as of 2016, the highest in the state for African-American males, with 100 percent of graduates attending a two or four-year college, entering the work force or armed forces. The Academy strives to increase their graduation rate to 100 percent with full commitments to move forward to a higher educational institution.
