They've settled on Pre-K admission with pull out for K/1 level academics (The entire school has a set schedule for Math/Reading/Science that they all switch class rooms for simultaneously - like a mini high-school). They've decided to continue the evaluation in classroom because they are concerned that despite her academic, social and emotional skills being impressive they feel that most children don't do well outside of their age group.
Apparently in our state (and our district especially) it's almost unheard of to place a child above grade level no matter the aptitude. It's unfortunate, but we are out of options and this seems to be our best choice. We talked to DD about it and she understood that she'd get to learn K level things but play with kids her own age & she seemed pretty happy about that...
We'll evaluate again in like November when we have seen how the coursework is going!
