This is similiar to my DD7 in school before we made the change to a gifted school. I tell her her inside stuff is what is most important, not how pretty she is. She was really being hurt by school in 1st because there wasn't much play time that she loved and the learning was too easy. She complained they were treating her like a baby.
I believe 5 is a good time to IQ. Hoagies has some reccomendations for testers. I would also start putting together a portfolio of about 12 pieces of work that she does above level. You could keep a library reading list too with reading levels.
