Ross Point School was a historic rural, African-American school building located near Laurel, Sussex County, Delaware. Funding for the building was provided by Pierre S. du Pont. It was built in 1922, and was a rectangular, one-story wood-frame building in the Colonial Revival style. It had a hipped roof and cedar shingle siding. It had an entrance portico with a triangular pediment. It remained in use as school until September 24, 1964, when it was officially consolidated into the Laurel Special School District.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.[1] It is listed on the Delaware Cultural and Historic Resources GIS system as destroyed or demolished.[3]
