How is her attitude towards the work?
Can she take the whole weekend off?
Does she still play with her toys and do her other interests when she does not have to study?
How much time do the other kids spend on homework?
As for the norm, she made a huge jump - more like from 1st to 4th than just to 2d grade, and from a relaxed HS setup to a formal, accelerated program where she has to expend effort. Do you see she is making headway and you see her converging with the others in the class this year?
I know two kids in a similar program here in Dallas and they have lots of homework every night, but love it. The work and pace is unrelenting.
