School Overview

Nestled in the coastal hills of Rancho Palos Verdes, Miraleste Intermediate sits in one of the South Bay's most scenic and sought-after communities, where ocean views and quiet, winding streets set the backdrop for a genuinely strong middle school experience. The school shines especially in math and science, landing in the 91st and 93rd percentiles statewide, making it a great fit for families who want rigorous academics without the pressure-cooker intensity of some elite urban programs. If you're raising kids in RPV or considering a move to the Hill, Miraleste offers the kind of well-rounded, high-performing environment that tends to make the middle school years feel like a real launchpad rather than something to just survive.
