Ginn Academy
Public, all boys school in Cleveland, , Ohio, United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ginn Academy is an all-boys' public high school located in Cleveland, Ohio. A part of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, Ginn began instruction in 2007 opening in the building previously occupied by Spellacy Middle School in the city's South Collinwood neighborhood.[3] It is the only all-boys' public high school in the state. There is controversy that it operates on a private school model drawing students from outside the city.[4] It was founded by Glenville High School football and track coach Ted Ginn Sr.[5]
Ginn Academy was designed for boys requiring additional help in academics and services, and it was scheduled to have a school day longer than that of most district high schools. The school, in its opening year, had 100 slots for first year students (freshmen) and 50 second year students (sophomores). As of December 2007, 80 students had applied.[6]
The dress code requires students to wear suits and ties, different from the normal Cleveland school district dress code guidelines.[6]
