Olive Crest Academy

"Responding to Ctylsh I very true the kid who got his toe smashed name started with a L and and ended with a S if so I was in the room when it happened and also I remember all staff you mentioned Adam wasn’t that bad he just didn’t want us to act up.but for the most part he was alright he became the pe teacher until I left around 2017? when he said staff liked torturing kid he was right for some bud most genuinely cared for us mainly the female staff and therapist and also don’t think the kids were angels I remember someone punching a female when I was around 9-10? and it wasn’t a soft punch btw she was talking about his mom and was trying to get on his nerves but come on he was 9 why are you going down to my level? I’m 18 now and planing to work at a residential treatment center somewhere in California I genuinely want to help because I wasn’t I have been to Juvenal Halls,NPS,RTC,Camps OCA put me in a prison mindset where I developed a fight or flight mode and when I left I had so much anger in me I missed 3 years of my life with a bunch of kids who made me worse when I went to OCA I was just a innocent kid with parents who were not the best and needed more help but the kids at OCA"

"Went here from 2013-2020 In the early years a lot of the staff like Adam, Efrain, and Edwin were sadistic and were very loose with the hands-on policy they had. any sort of backtalk would result in two men grabbing you, taking you to a room with no handle on the inside, and leaving you in there for most of the school day. Try to open the door and they would push it open quickly to get you off. I've seen a kid get his big toenail caught in the space underneath the door after they pushed and it bent backwards. Nothing was done as he was crying in pain for i dont even remember how long. probably because my mind has suppressed the traumatic memory. There was another kid who couldnt have been older than 12 who was on the autism spectrum. he hated loud noises. Adam and another staff who i think went by the name "Mr Rafa" or Mr Rafael shoved him in the room and they tortured him by playing music on a loud speaker through the door gap. Adam left, and he said to him "if you get bored, start playing the music again" If you're okay with giving your child lifelong mental health issues go ahead and send them to olive crest academy"

"I see kids getting patted down every morning like they are criminals. The staff outside look like bouncers or parole officers. If this is such a great school then why do they have students busting out of school and running through the neighborhood? One student ended up on my street, a white van pulled up and 2 big guys jumped out and grabbed the kid. The neighbor and I called the police because we thought the kid was being kidnapped."

"I went here it ruined my life . I went through life not normal because of this place so called school . If you are a parent and your child goes here remove them as fast as you can if you love your child . They should be investigated . They torture little children here in freezing rooms , make them face walls they keep children here against their will . They have criminals that attend this place and work there as well this place should be shut down like the Santa Ana location. This place is UNSAFE . They play it like its the safest school to be in thats False . They are Criminals running a torture chamber for your child . This is not a therapeutic place trust me . I have a hard time trying to forgive these freaks you will too if you or your child keeps attending here . Sad ."
