It's really hard to know from one test, with no achievement data, and no look at the kid something we call 'LOG' - level of giftedness. But it's important to think about. You can imagine that there are some kids who are ready for University level classes at age 15, some at age 12, a few at age 8.
Some just need enrichment in their classrooms, or a single gradeskip.
Thanks quite a range, don't you think?
So to me - asking 'is she gifted' is sort of a vauge question.
The other difficulty is that each state and maybe each district has their own definition of gifted, and their own cut offs.
In some towns, the top 10% are given special classes all day long - your daughter misses the cut off for the top 3% definition of gifted. She still might not be really working hard enough to have fun or develop work ethic in that special class, or maybe the teacher is wonderful, and 'gets' your DD, and it's no problem.
I would strongly look into a gradeskip - is that on your list of options?
