Rancho Del Mar High School


Rancho Del Mar High School is one of three public high schools on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Located on Crest Road in Rolling Hills, the school is part of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District.
Rancho Del Mar was opened in 1984 on the former site of La Cresta Elementary School.
With a relatively small enrollment, Rancho Del Mar High School focuses on students who experience difficulty with the regular high school environment or curriculum. It is a common secondary destination for those struggling with behavioral or academic issues at either Palos Verdes or Palos Verdes Peninsula High School. Enrollment is only granted through administrative recommendation.
