Ellen,
I have found that teachers that choose to work at Title One schools are generally very sensitive to kids with special needs. My daughter goes to a Title One school (the only one in our district). The teachers I have met there truly have a special calling. I have talked with other parents of gifted kids in our district about their schools. From what I can tell the teachers at my daughter's school are much more open to differentiation.
If you think the teacher is overloaded, you might be able to think of some ways for her to differentiate the curriculum that are easy to implement. If your daughter can work independently, the teacher might be open to her doing some independent computer work or projects. I recommend having some suggestions ready since you know your daughter better than anyone else.
