Better than 12% of Ohio high schools

Summary

Ginn Academy is a public high school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 with about 330 students at 655 E 162nd St, part of the Cleveland Municipal district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 697th of 795 Ohio high schools — the 12th percentile — with a 1-star rating. The district itself ranks 689th of 773 (11th percentile, 1 star), so Ginn sits roughly in line with an already low-ranked district.

Ginn's clearest strength is its graduation rate: 89.7% in 2025–2026, well above the district's 79.6% and far above nearby Glenville High School (48.9%) and Collinwood High School (50.0%). It is competitive with larger neighbors such as Euclid High School (90.5%) and Cleveland Heights High School (92.1%), though below Cleveland School Of The Arts High School (97.4%). Geometry is a standout: 40.3% proficiency, more than 22 points above the district and just under the state. Subgroup data also stands out — special education students ranked in the 51st percentile with 3 stars, up from the 13th percentile and 1 star in 2023–2024, and the African American student subgroup ranked in the 30th percentile with 2 stars, notably higher than the school's overall standing.

Challenges remain significant. Chronic absenteeism was 77.6% in 2025–2026 — well above the district's 54.3% and higher than most nearby schools, including Cleveland School Of The Arts High School (50.8%), Collinwood High School (65.5%), Richmond Heights High School (37.1%), Brush High School (50.5%), Euclid High School (56.9%) and Shaw High School (68.7%). Only Glenville High School (84.2%) and Flex High School Cleveland (75.7%) were similar or worse. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 22:1 was the highest among comparable nearby schools. In 2025–2026, proficiency in American Government, American History, Biology, English II and Algebra I was below both district and state levels. Ginn has climbed from the 1st–5th percentile in the mid-2010s and early 2020s to the 12th–15th percentile recently, but it remains in Ohio's bottom quarter.
