Ridge School began in 1878 at Ridge Baptist Church, then known as the Meeting House. This quaint schoolhouse replaced the one-room building which burned during 1903. This photograph was taken before 1907, the year a two-story addition was made to the front.

This two-story building was built in 1907 as an addition to the existing two-room schoolhouse. It served as a high school until 1903 and continued as a grade school until 1930 when it was replaced by the new brick school on Three Chopt Road.

The ten-classroom wing, completed during the spring of 1961, was linked to the 1930 building.

This is Ridge School today.
