I just wanted to chime in that I have definitely seen teachers who underassess kids at the beginning of the year so that they can show "growth" over the course of the year. In reality, though, the kids have shown proficiency at the beginning of the school year and make virtually no progress throughout the year because they are not being taught at their level or at any level beyond what is standard for that year. So, I could definitely see this happening to your daughter. Same with the 2s at this point in the year. I have been told by teachers that they have to show growth over the year so they can't say that a child has already mastered all the grade-level skills.
Also, if your DD is getting an S for effort in science, perhaps it's because she doesn't have to work at all to get the 100s she's getting. But if this is true, it seems to me like her grade of S should be a red flag to the teacher that she needs to be challenged. Unfortunately, I've rarely seen teachers - in my experience - who will make that connection on their own and start offering work that a child would actually have to work hard at.
Furthermore, I have been told by a principal and gifted coordinator that a grade acceleration was the accommodation and that no further accommodations would be made even when shown that the more advanced work was not enough.
Have you spoken with the principal?
