The Ridgeley School is a historic Rosenwald school building at 8605 Central Avenue in Capitol Heights, Maryland. It is a single-story wood-frame structure with a hip roof, built in 1927 with funding support from the Rosenwald Fund. Originally built with two classrooms, a third was added later. In 2009-11 the property underwent restoration and conversion for use as a local history museum. It is one of four two-room Rosenwald schools built in Prince George's County.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.[1]
