History
Ground broke on Fort Bend ISD High School #11 in July 2008, and the campus opened in the 2010–11 school year to ease overcrowding at Hightower and Elkins high schools. Some Sienna Plantation residents criticized the chosen location of Ridge Point, while Arcola residents had a positive reception to the location.

On February 8, 2010, the FBISD board selected "Ridge Point High School" as the school's name. It was chosen to honor area history, specific the Blue Ridge Oil Field and the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos and Colorado Railway reaching Stafford's Point in 1853. Ridge Point High School is one of two high schools within the Fort Bend Independent School District that is not named after a person.

Upon opening the school had 9th and 10th graders, with subsequent grades to be added later. The first graduating class matriculated in 2013.

2011 sexual misconduct case
On June 14, 2011, Anne Lynn Montgomery, a color-guard instructor at Ridge Point, was charged with sexual assault of a minor under 17 and having an improper relationship with a student at two Houston Independent School District schools. Earlier that year, she filed a restraining order against Bradman Cortez Moore, who she had been living with in Fort Bend County. Moore had been engaged in a sexual relationship with Montgomery, one that began when he was 16 while she was a color guard instructor at Sharpstown High School in Houston. When Montgomery moved to Bellaire High School, Moore also transferred there for mysterious reasons. DNA tests concluded that he was the father of children born in 2008 and 2009. After the relationship came to public light, Montgomery dropped the restraining order. Although she was working at Ridge Point, she left in April after an investigation was launched.

2016 sexual misconduct case
In March 2016, rumors circulated on campus detailing that teachers were having sex with students and sending nude pictures to them. Two teachers were put on administrative leave afterwards. A month later on April 28, 27-year-old Lillian Cameron, a chemistry teacher, turned herself in to the police after resigning.
