Olinda Elementary is an elementary-level school located in Brea, California.
Olinda Elementary was first built in 1898 in what is now Carbon Canyon Regional Park, one year after the village of Olinda was founded. [3] [4]
The school was moved deeper into Carbon Canyon during the mid-1960s, in what is now Olinda Village.
In 2012, the Olinda Village location was scheduled for demolition and a new site was constructed at a location on Birch Street next to the City of Brea's Sports Park. [5] This sparked concern and anger with local residents as the school had also served as a park, but was made inaccessible after being sold. [6]
In 2006, the school was recognized as a California Distinguished School and in 2007 was recognized as a Blue Ribbon School. [7]
In 2010, the Orange County Register placed Olinda Elementary on their "Best Schools" list at number 10. [8] [9]
