Hi Deacongirl,
One thing to consider: how much exposure has your DD had to above-level content, and at what level? Since the test is aimed at 8th graders, if she's in 5th now, whether she'd know all that content from the higher grades probably depends on what she's been taught, more than on ability. I suspect the science and math are particularly susceptible to this problem, but the reading also calls on strategies typically taught in middle school language arts.
They're great scores-- at or above average for an 8th grader! I would hope that the school would understand that there's great capacity for learning more.
