Hi Cathy A -
Sounds like a start for your DD! I also like CTY talent search, as it gives information about how your DD does in relation to other gifted children. You can use parental nomination if you don't feel like waiting for the state testing scores, which are sometimes depressed due to the unengaging nature of the material for some kids.
Too bad the private schools are so close minded! How Frustrating. Would you consider Full Grade skip for DS? Homeschooling?
Whatever happens - Best Wishes
