Summary

Ginn Academy is a public high school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving 302 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Cleveland Municipal school district, which is ranked 675 out of 828 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Ginn Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Ohio high schools over the past decade, with its statewide ranking ranging from 721 to 844 out of around 800 high schools.

Ginn Academy has struggled with low graduation rates, ranging from 74.4% to 88.7% in recent years, significantly lower than the state average of around 85% and the Cleveland Municipal district average. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 51.5% to 84.2%, more than double the state average. Academically, Ginn Academy's students perform poorly on state standardized tests, with proficiency rates less than half the state average in most subject areas, particularly in math subjects like Geometry and Algebra I.

Interestingly, Ginn Academy's performance is significantly worse than the nearby Cleveland School of the Arts High School and Collinwood High School, which are also part of the Cleveland Municipal district. These schools have higher graduation rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better academic performance on state tests. Despite Ginn Academy's slightly higher per-student spending and comparable student-teacher ratios, the school faces deep-rooted challenges in student engagement, academic support, and school culture that contribute to its poor outcomes.
