I find it odd that Lex HS and River Bluff are both at the very edge of their attendance zones. White Knoll is the only one that is somewhat central to its attendance zone. I've always wondered why they built the new Lex where it's at now considering when it was built, it truly was out of the way for who went there.

Sprawl. The SC Department of Education claims a certain amount of acreage is necessary to build a school. Going vertical with stairs for the use of the buttocks muscles going up and quads coming down is out.

I have not lived here that long but what I was told was that Lexington High was built were it is because of the anticipation of growth closer in. Apparently a lot of the land from I-20 heading west on the 378 corridor was/is in private hands and the thought was it would take decades for that land to become available but once it did there would be a rush of builders and businesses wanting to develop the property. And once that happened there would be a need for new schools to handle the influx of population. I wish they could have picked a more central cite but my understanding is that there were very few tracks of land large enough to handle the school.

Each of the 4 learning units is 3 stories tall with stairs. How many Columbia schools are 3 stories tall?
I've been to RBHS. No unit is three stories. There are three stories, but the first two wings, you walk in on the second floor and you walk up to three, but there's no down. The two other wings, there's no third, you walk down to first.
What's RBHS? Hand Middle and Logan Elementary are three stories. They are the only schools left that I can think of right off hand that are on an urban grid. The old Columbia High School downtown was three stories, I think. None of those schools have (had) lots of acreage. Speaking of which - there's the perfect example of early sprawl - the current Columbia High School - moving out from the city center. Now it's in an inner ring of suburban decay because people thought they needed to sprawl out further, thus messing up the charm of small towns and the countryside.

Theres 4 wings on the core academic side of the building, and they're called units.
And LOL. I teach,so let me tell you some more gems:
Guidance is now called Counseling and Advisement
Library is now called Learning Commons.
We also no longer "teach," we are to develop and direct a learning experience.
I feel like getting a teaching certificate to become an English tutor and teach my way. I've always thought I would like to teach English at the sixth-grade level. I made a 100 on my mile-thick final exam in sixth-grade English under the toughest sixth-grade English teacher east of the Pacific Ocean. If anyone knows for sure of any schools around here that need someone like me to jump into a classroom and worry about the certification later, I might give it a try. But enough about me (I don't really believe in beginning a sentence with "But.").
