(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I think that Vardaman Elementary School is great! The teachers are terrific and really care about their students. They really go the extra mile is a child is having difficulty and I really appreciate that. The curriculum at Vardaman is also up-to-date and challenging for the students, so they can stay ahead of the game. I am a very proud parent of a Vardaman Elementary Student
