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. Located on the eastern side of Lexington, SC, River Bluff High School overlooks the Saluda River and is only a few hundred feet from Interstate 20 and U.S. Highway 378. River Bluff was established in the fall of 2013.

Development

Construction of River Bluff began in January 2011 and was completed in August 2013. The construction process was overseen by Cumming Construction Management and contracted by China Construction America of South Carolina.[citation needed] 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.[8]
