I appreciate any insight others on this forum can provide!

I would search this forum for previous discussions about CogAT. There are def. kids who were highly gifted who have done poorly on CogAT. I think given everything you have said here that it is unlikely the score is a good representation of your daughter and that at some point it would be useful to pursue private testing. I am in the same boat.
