'''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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.publicschoolreview.com/margaret-spellacy-middle-school-profile|title=Margaret Spellacy Middle School (Closed 2006) Profile (2021) &#124; Cleveland, OH|website=Public School Review}}</ref> It is the only all-boys' public high school in the state.

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.<ref name=Turner>Turner, Karl.
