My DD was identified for a portion of the gifted program and I don't have the faintest idea what her actual IQ score is. My DD doesn't seem to be what I would consider "gifted" in terms of developmental arc, at least to the extent that I am concerned about education beyond the public schools.
I consider my DD gifted-ish, but my DD sounds more gifted-ish that what you are talking about here with your DD.
Neither of my children seem to be at my level, so I think that you will probably be safe in not worrying about your DD right now unless you see a problem somewhere.
Gifted programs these seem to be more college prep than what I remember of the IQ-based gifted of the 80's.
I'm trying to get both of my kids into the gifted program for middle school. But that has nothing to do with whether they are "gifted" in terms of 99th percentile IQ's or advanced developmental arcs.
Gifted = College Prep in many schools.
To me, it's a shift in the language.
