About Catalina Foothills Unified School District #16
Catalina Foothills has a compact feeder pattern. Canyon View and Ventana Vista generally continue to Esperero Canyon Middle; Manzanita and Sunrise Drive generally continue to Orange Grove Middle. Both middle schools lead to Catalina Foothills High School. Open-enrollment families are responsible for transportation.
Language immersion can alter elementary placement. Ventana Vista remains the Spanish-immersion campus. On October 28, 2025, the governing board considered an action item to approve a gradual phase-out of Sunrise Drive’s Mandarin program. Two contemporaneous local reports state that the board voted unanimously for the plan, allowing enrolled students to finish while closing entry to new cohorts.
> **Current source conflict — verified 2026-08-12** > Current immersion pages still advertise K–5 Mandarin, while the board-approved phase-out closed entry to new cohorts and allowed enrolled students to finish. Confirm whether any new entry is available and which teach-out grades remain.
