I don't believe that they have to give you that information. As to whether they can give it to you, I'd suspect that they could give you her relative ranking but maybe not the exact scores of other students. I'm not much help!
I guess that I'm mostly posting b/c I agree that this sounds like the stupidest reason I've ever heard for saying no to a skip. It does sound like setting the bar at a place they hope she won't reach so they don't have to provide what you want. So what if they have to skip 5 or 6 kids? What if 5 or 6 kids need to be skipped?
Do you have any other data to support a skip such as group or individual achievement scores? Would the district GT coordinator be willing to help out or have you tried contacting him/her?
