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:
“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)
“A good reputation is more valuable than money.”
—Publilius Syrus (1st century B.C.)
“This one fact the world hates; that the soul becomes; for that forever degrades the past, turns all riches to poverty, all reputation to a shame, confounds the saint with the rogue, shoves Jesus and Judas equally aside.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
