About elementary grades...
With our DD in K, 1st and September through January of 2nd we got similar reports. Competences in English, Maths and Science that we knew she had were apparently absent from her school work. We decided that a) grades at these ages count for nothing b) confirmation bias means the elementary teachers are only tuned into evidence showing that kids do not have skills because most do not have the early blooming skills that our kids have c) the teachers have to put in something as a learning need it seems.
By not challenging our DD's teachers over this because at the end of the day we knew she did have the 'missing' skills for a couple of years or so teachers were a lot more supportive when we presented evidence of both her aptitude and her achievements in February of 2nd grade. Then we got the 'So that's why she didn't want to do the extra worksheets!' And a total about face from them because the confirmation bias now reversed its polarity LOL
Wrt the perceived wandering attention IMO, you should do more testing as your DD's apparent lack of focus may be lack of challenge sufficient to hold her focus.
