Losing books? Sounds like my DS. We refer to him as the absent minded professor. Kids that are gifted tend to dwell in their head with their interests. Life outside is nothing more than a distraction at times. What your school is identifying as a lack of focus is in fact probably the exact opposite, intense focus on whatever she's thinking about.

I would look into other options simply because you don't want her to get to college before she ever faces a challenge. That is a recipe for disaster.
