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:
“Our culture, therefore, must not omit the arming of the man. Let him hear in season, that he is born into the state of war, and that the commonwealth and his own well-being require that he should not go dancing in the weeds of peace, but warned, self- collected, and neither defying nor dreading the thunder, let him take both reputation and life in his hand, and, with perfect urbanity, dare the gibbet and the mob by the absolute truth of his speech, and the rectitude of his behaviour.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It will do you no good if I get over this. A doctor’s reputation is made by the number of eminent men who die under his care.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
““What have I earned for all that work,” I said,
“For all that I have done at my own charge?
The daily spite of this unmannerly town,
Where who has served the most is most defamed,
The reputation of his lifetime lost
Between the night and morning....””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
