Other Programs: Neabsco is the recipient of a Reading First Grant from the federally funded No Child Left Behind Act. Neabsco has a reading coach along with a core reading program that is aligned with the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) as a result of the Reading First Grant.
The Comprehensive School Reform Grant was also awarded to Neabsco which provides for the school’s library to be opened to the community in the summer, books mailed to “at promise” children over the summer, a book exchange program within the school, and before and after school tutoring. Title I Reading and Math programs are also provided at Neabsco. Neabsco has full day kindergarten for 50% of their students.
The FBI crime lab from Quantico has a partnership with Neabsco and provides support during the school year and on weekends to prepare our STARS for their science fair projects.

Neabsco fifth graders can serve as Safety Patrols. All students are members of the SCA which helps with community service projects like food drives and Pennies for Patients and Jump Rope for Heart.
