In 2007, Fontana Elementary also received the Kansas State Department of Education "Governor's Achievement Award", given to schools whose students performed in the top 5% of all Kansas schools. As part of the Prairie View school district (USD 362), Fontana students from grades 6–12 attend Prairie View Middle School or Prairie View High School in La Cygne, Kansas. In approximately 2011, the Prairie View School Board expressed an interest in replacing or remodeling Fontana Elementary. Various proposals were made, including one to build a new school close to Prairie View Middle School, but the Board eventually settled on a decision to expand nearby Parker Elementary, which was part of Prairie View along with Fontana. The school ceased operations in May 2014, with the end of the school year, and all the students were moved to Parker Elementary. The school building has since been sold to private owners.
