Hi MelMi,
What an awful story, I'm so sorry. Sounds like you could have taken the school to court and wiped the floor with them. Truly atrocious!
Cooler heads prevail, obviously, I think you are smart to hold onto that 20-40k and invest it into an individual education plan for your dear daughter.
I don't know anything about that test, but our DD took the WIAT achievement test at age 7 and it really helped us gauge her level of learning. Also, if they are making you document learning you might need to have some sort of detailed assessment that clearly indicates she has mastered whatever grades she is proficient at already. You might want to did up all the specifics on that one if you haven't already.
