Finally, some good signs, at least.
Great to hear this good news.

Personally, if the all day gifted classes would keep her with agemates, and not disrupt the family too too much, I'd prefer that option to a grade skip. Gradeskips are great when there is no other option, but self contained classrooms are often the better choice. It all depends on the child's personality and needs - and the family needs as well. (Sometimes one needs both!)

Keep pushing - remember to at least try and get the private tester to speak to the GC over the phone to help you push for the intradistrict transfer.

Good luck
