Contributing to the overall success of Nansemond Parkway are seven Partners-in-Education — Ciba Specialty Chemicals, Nansemond Credit Union, Suffolk Fire Station No. 10, Arthur’s Sweet Pickle, Triple T Gymnastics, Chick-fil-A, the Virginia Extension Service, Backyard Burgers, and NewLife Suffolk. This strong partnership program provides academic tutors, mentors for at-risk students, field trips, career day speakers, technological support, and special assembly programs.

In 2006, more than 250 men signed on to volunteer at least one day a year through a new program called Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students).  The effort was a success and will continue in 2007-08.

Students are continuing to excel in reading through Accelerated Reader, a computerized reading program geared towards improving student reading levels. As a program incentive, an A.R. store was created so students can redeem points in exchange for prizes earned on the computerized comprehension tests.

2007 Test Scores
The Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLs) are a framework of basic skills students in each grade level should learn in English, math, science, social studies, and technology.

The SOL tests are given each spring to measure students' success in meeting these state standards. The 2007 benchmark for elementary grades is a 75% pass rate in English, 70% in math, 70% in science and 70% in history.
