The Florida Ruffin Ridley School, formerly known as the Coolidge Corner School[2] and the Edward Devotion School or Devo, is a public K-8 school located at 345 Harvard Street, Brookline, Massachusetts, United States. It is a part of Public Schools of Brookline.
The school was founded in 1892 on land formerly owned by Edward Devotion (1621-1685) and later by his grandson, another Edward Devotion (1667-1744). The land was purchased by the town from a later owner.[3] The Devotions' 18th-century house[4] is preserved by the Brookline Historical Society[5] and stands amidst part of its original gardens in the school's forecourt.
