Good luck! Just a thought, maybe you can tour the 5th grade class while you are at the new school too? Getting a closer fit at the base grade level might also help quite a bit.
[ETA re: my experience- my HG son skipped one grade and then transferred to a school that worked one year ahead, so effectively skipped two grades, before we found a good fit. But even skipping the one grade made a huge positive difference. Since your DD is already 10, she likely wouldn't be the youngest one in 5th.]
Edited again to add that the Iowa Acceleration Manual is a wonderful objective tool to determine whether a student is a good candidate for acceleration.
