Thanks everyone for your advice. I do not have anyone around here that I can discuss this with!
At what point do you think a grade skip is a better choice than staying in your present grade and working above grade level in some subjects, such as math?
I think the answer to this question is very dependent on each child. In particular, the child's level of contentment is very important.
Oh, have you tried using the Iowa Acceleration Manual with your daughter's school? Also, what is the school's/district's official policy on grade skipping? You may want to request a copy of the policy and read it very carefully.
Finally, it may be possible to work around an "absolute" type of policy (ex. 90%+ on the exams) given how close your daughter came.
