Wow. Those are really, really high scores. Did she hit the ceiling on any of the subtests? If so, were extended norms done? Also, they're ALL really high which will be really helpful for your dd as she goes through school.
It sounds like your kindy teacher is either boxed in by her administration by what she can offer your dd, or by her own prejudices and misinformation. It's a shame your dd gets marked off for "working ahead" of others. I'm so tired of hearing about gifted kids being made to wait for others to catch up, meanwhile getting virtually no instruction adequate enough for their own growth that I could spit fire.
So, yes, I would look into achievement testing if only for DYS application. She already has the ability which more than meets DYS requirements.
I'm afraid your long, uphill battle has only just begun.
And FWIW, we were surprised by our ds12's (tested at 11) WISC IV results as well. I think it may be quite common.
Welcome!!
