I wouldn't worry about this. When my son went to first grade he was reading at a 4th grade level and the first progress report showed that he was "still developing", then the next one said "progressing". I talked to a teacher friend and she told me that teachers always do that because if they give the student a "developed" or whatever, then they have no room to show that THEY have made progress with the child. So, it's about the teacher, not your child.

It sounds like she is bored. Regarding the gifted school, I would check it out carefully to see exactly what they are offering. I looked at a "gifted school" and discovered that it was really a prep school and offered a "More of the Same" attitude.

I hope you get some more help here.
