The tuition-free public charter school is starting this year in partnership with the all-boys Ginn Academy, a school noted for its strong athleticsand a graduation rate that outpaces the Cleveland Metropolitan School District’s average.
Ginn-Thompson is currently accepting applications for its 2024-2025 school year, which will start on Sept. 4. The school, which can accommodate about 150 students, has recruited about 60 students in the eight days since it opened enrollment, according to Ginn-Thompson Vice President Sherree Ray Dillions. The school is only serving grades 6-10 this year but plans to expand to 11th and 12th grade next year.
