I'm popping in to encourage you to trust yourself. If something doesn't seem right, it's probably not. Even if your get "she's okay, she's normal" response from the school, if it doesn't feel right, keep investigating until you have a definitive answer.
My son was labeled "normal" and "typical" by the elementary school and the school shamed me as a neurotic tiger mom. Neuropsychology came back with average IQ, 66th percentile. Turned out my son has ADHD. After ADHD diagnosis and treatment, his GAI (an alternate calculation of IQ) was 141, I think that is 99.7th percentile?
Learning difficulties can have dramatic results on testing!
I'm not at all surprised by math fact recall. My son has terrible math fact recall, counts on his fingers and couldn't pass a timed math fact test to save his life. He's also in Algebra 2 at 9 years old. Math fact recall is a different set of ability than Mathematica thinking! My niece couldn't learn the alphabet or math facts, she Was diagnosed with ADHD in 1st or 2nd grade and is starting to catch up to age mates now that she has treatment. I'm sure there are other reasons for difficulty with ordering the alphabet and difficulty with math fact recall, but I always think "ADHD?". I was in denial about ADHD for my son for a whole year because I didn't understand it is more complex than just hyperactivity - and my son is not at all hyperactive!
Best of luck to you as you start digging to uncover your daughter's struggles! (((Hugs)))
