Wow! That is beautiful. I think all those signs need to be part of the conversation! So sad that you and she seem to be a 'cross-purposes' but unless the work in the higher grades would be just as boring, I think you need to 'be the grown up' here. Your list is VERY convinsing to me, and I believe that it would be to the school as well.
Have you all explored her litterally going to 4th or 5th grade during 'reading time' or 'math time'? (that's what I am usually thinking of when I talk about subject acceleration)
Sadly accommodations don't last forever, even gradeskips sometimes. I think flexability is key.
I realize that for shy kids, going to a different classroom and doing things that no one else is doing is like 'dying a thousand deaths' - it was for my DS anyway, which is why a full gradeskip at a different school was much better in the long run, for him, but I think that learning needs come before comfort. Of course if the school can help out by choosing a few other girls to 'go up' with her, that would be very kind of them.
