Although I don't think my situation is similar to your daughter's but I am a 25 year old young woman with cerebral palsy who when tested on WAIS III (a Weschsler IQ test for adults, very similar to WISC)at age 20, had a VCI of 145
Similarities--19
Vocabulary--18
Information--15
(wasn't administered Comprehension as it's not a required subtest on WAIS III but believe I would've scored close to the ceiling on it as well, probably would've done better on Comprehension than on Information), yet a WMI of 109 and POI and PSI both in the 70s (borderline impaired). This huge scatter is a result of my brain damage.
I am sure your daughter doesn't have a major neurological disability, but usually VCI is the least likely to be impacted by any neurological/LD issues as opposed to the other three indexes and so your daughter might have a very mild LD, but given that even her lower scores are still very solid, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If your school has a Full Scale IQ cut-off of 130, I doubt there would be any trouble getting her into the GT program, although there may be some unevenness in her achievement across and in enjoyment of different subjects.
P.S. I am definitely not gifted but I just like to hang out on this forum
