Welcome! Many of us have been through similar frustrations with the schools. Are you familiar with your school's and district's policies on acceleration and gifted? Our state requires that every district have such policies in place, for example. I agree that there should be some testing to figure out why the school fit is so bad. It could be that she just needs to be accelerated a grade for a better fit, or something else could be at play. Think about whether you want to have the school psychologist do testing. There are benefits to having a psychologist familiar with GT or 2E do testing, but of course that costs money (unless your insurance will cover it).
ETA: Are there other school options nearby? It's always helpful to be aware of other options, including homeschool if that is something your family could swing.
