Rancho Del Mar High School is one of three public high schools on the Palos Verdes Peninsula (the others being Palos Verdes Peninsula High School and Palos Verdes High School). 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, it focuses on students who experience difficulty with the regular high school environment or curriculum, and may need a more flexible or personalized environment.
