This school has certain funding for handicapped kids and certain funding for gifted kids. They are doing what they can for her, it's just that I want more than what they can offer. She's been tested no less than 4 times and has been in advanced classes since 3rd grade (except when she was in 6th grade because the school was too small and didn't have advanced classes).

Hey, seems like she would be bumping the edges no matter what school she would be in. The educational system is so dumbed down, it actually promotes mediocrity. I hope she can find the right path because this country needs high performers in math and the sciences. College courses along with her HS courses sounds like the best choice, it is important to know her majors ASAP so that the courses she takes don't waste her time.
