The district has had a history of financial and academic issues since the late 1980s until 2013, when the state proceeded to have the district closed. The district officially closed on July 1, 2013 and it was absorbed into the Houston Independent School District. The school district was rated "academically unacceptable" by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) from 2008 to 2011. NFISD was the largest school district ever closed by the TEA.
