The interior shots of Bronson Alcott High were actually filmed at Grant High School at 13000 Oxnard Street Los Angeles CA 91401. 

I am not sure about some of the outdoor scenes of the high school as they were actually filmed at Occidental College but this one scene may have been at Grant High School based on the hills in the background. 

Cher's house is located at 5148 Louise Avenue Encino CA 91316.

 Driving to the Valley party house. I dont know this location but looks like a major Valley Blvd like Ventura, Sherman Way, Van Nuys, Sepulveda, etc.

This home was used for the Valley party scenes in the 1995 film Clueless featuring Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy, and Paul Rudd. The producers selected this home because they felt it represented the typical "Valley" home which was a good pick considering this home contains Mid Century Modern elements commonly found in the SFV that were built at the height of the SFV housing boom and expansion in the 60's. Clueless utilized other SFV locations discussed here.
