River Bluff High School is one of five public high schools in Lexington, South Carolina and provides education for ninth through twelfth grades in the districts of Lexington, Lake Murray, and Oak Grove.

Development

Construction of River Bluff was completed in August 2013. River Bluff was constructed with many windows to reduce the cost of lighting.[citation needed] The students receive materials delivered online rather than through textbooks.[citation needed] River Bluff is one of the largest schools in South Carolina, totaling to 540,000 square feet. The construction of River Bluff totaled $138.9 million, authorized by voters in 2008.[7]
