Reputation
About one-third of the students are enrolled in the extensive French Immersion program. Approximately 90 percent of students pursue post-secondary education. Richview is also one of the few remaining schools along with York Memorial C.I. in Toronto that runs on a non-semestered, year-long schedule (meaning all classes last all year on an alternating day schedule). Most Toronto District School Board schools offer semester-based schedules.
It also has a reputation for turning down students who are not from the "elite" Etobicoke area.

Famous quotes containing the word reputation:
“I am sorry to say we whites have a sad reputation among many of the Polynesians. The natives of these islands are naturally of a kindly and hospitable temper, but there has been implanted among them an almost instinctive hate of the white man. They esteem us, with rare exceptions, such as some of the missionaries, the most barbarous, treacherous, irreligious, and devilish creatures on the earth.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“A prince must be prudent enough to know how to escape the bad reputation of those vices that would lose the state for him, and must protect himself from those that will not lose it for him, if this is possible; but if he cannot, he need not concern himself unduly if he ignores these less serious vices.”
—Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527)
“I see my reputation is at stake,
My fame is shrewdly gored.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
