I agree with Grinity - see if she can test out the gifted program. I think she'll like it, to be honest. Since my oldest is only 7, I have limited experience with this as a parent. But I do remember when I was a child, I don't remember a single person (myself included) who wasn't ten times happier in a more challenging class. The other thing about that is that she'll be with other kids with similar abilities. So she won't have to worry about being considered a "nerd" or the "teacher's pet" just because she chooses to learn something.
