The first review shown is false and misleading. There is adequate supervision at Orinda Academy and there is not a major drug and alcohol problem. Orinda Academy has a zero tolerance policy on drugs and alcohol and expulsion results for any student found with controlled substances, or being under the influence. However, this rarely happens because students realize school is not the place for drugs and alcohol, and the students are successful in school and self confident so they are less likely to use drugs. Orinda Academy provides education that promotes a healthy lifestyle. Close Quote

The school does not provide adequate supervision for safety of students. A lot of alcohol and drugs on campus because of lack of supervision. Close Quote
