We have been at Olinda for 4 years. Overall we are very pleased with the school - especially given the district it is in. The student population is very diverse - both in ethnicity and social economic status. The parents are involved, bringing many programs (in and after class) to campus over the last 3 years. There were science, art, music, & international languages; arranged by parent volunteers and partially subsidized by donations. We had 3 principals in 3 years, but now there's finally stability. If we could just get the District to recognize and value how Olinda helps to provide quality education to all, we would be doing better as a district.
Terrific parental involvement and excellent teachers make it an excellent place for kids to learn and the test scores reflect that. Unfortunately, the decision making at the district level has not always been the best. However, as long as the West Contra Costa School Districts keeps in mind the fact the their primary job is to provide an outstanding education to children, Olinda will continue to be an outstanding school.
Excellent school. Teachers who care about their students. Parents who care about their childrens education. Students who love coming to class everyday. The discipline at the school is above average and the kids really enjoy learning and just being where they are. Scores reflect all of the above positive things about this school. We had checked out at least 4 private schools in the area and found Olinda to exceed in every part of our childs education. We are hoping that it will continue to be the exceptional school that it is and always will be. We are proud to have our child attend Olinda.
Had problems last year when my son was in the fourth grade and pulled him out, sent him to another school for a few months. Now, we are back, have the greatest teacher ever (Mr. Kresch) and are totally satisfied! Olinda remains a great school!! And, I had my doubts... Jona Boothe-Aguirre
