The answers to your questions will depend on a few things including where your dd falls in terms of level of giftedness and what types of options your school has/is willing to offer.
My youngest is just finishing 6th grade. In 5th grade, her school offered a pull-out GT reading class that replaced her regular reading class daily and subject acceleration to 6th grade math. Since, like your school, 5th was the highest grade in the school, the subject accelerated math class was taught by the GT coordinator and she took maybe 10-15% of the 5th graders into her math class and taught them the 6th grade curriculum rather than the 5th.
Her school offered an unusual amount of GT programming for our area, though, which is a major reason she was choiced to that school. Also, the GT coordinator/teacher was very intelligent and a good teacher, which counts for a lot in my book.
I'm doubting that a school would offer that much programming for just one child, though, or if they do not have a GT teacher or another teacher to teach a separate group, it will be much harder to get something like that implemented.
Do you know if there are other GT identified kids in her grade? Could they group these kids all in the same 5th grade classroom? Can they regroup the classrooms for certain subjects? For instance, could all of the advanced readers go to Mr. Smith's class for reading even if he isn't their homeroom teacher?
What, if anything, do they offer now for GT ided kids?
