Many people identify the movie with that area and the teen culture associated with it in the early 1980s . "Ridgemont" is the name Crowe gave to Clairemont, the San Diego high school at which he posed as a student . (Spicoli mentions surfing at Sunset Cliffs, a genuine surf spot in San Diego .) Most of the exteriors of Ridgemont High School were shot at Van Nuys High School, and other scenes were shot at Canoga Park High School . The "carrot" scene and football game were shot at James Monroe High School in Sepulveda (now called North Hills). The "Ridgemont Mall" scenes used Sherman Oaks Galleria for interiors, and Santa Monica Place for exterior shots . Both have since been converted to open - air malls . "The Point" was filmed at the Encino Little League Field in Encino . </P> <P> In the DVD commentary, director Heckerling tells of how Cates was initially reluctant to carry out her character's poolside topless scene at the house in West Hills because she thought the neighbors might be spying on the set from the surrounding rooftops . </P>
