Roodeschool's railway station is the second northernmost in the Netherlands and forms part of the Groningen-Roodeschool railway line.
The name, which means "red school", is derived from the local noteworthiness of the red roof tiles of a village school which once stood in the vicinity.
It was part of Uithuizermeeden municipality before 1979, when it became part of Hefshuizen.
In 1893, the Roodeschool railway station was built on the Sauwerd to Roodeschool railway line.[4] Roodeschool used to be the end of the line, but in 2018, the line was extended to Eemshaven railway station.[5]
