Momsdream, my advice is not to even look at other schools before an assessment is done. In my experience, most bright kids who do not learn evenly with the others have a learning difference. Only understanding what that difference is will enable you to choose the right learning environment.
My son, now a junior in a highly competitive bioengineering program, has LDs. The lables mean nothng or I would list names. Bottom line for teaching him is that he is a visual learner. When we got a handle on that he was on his way. It was not always easy. The first AP was torture. He did the first 2 years of college at a cc so that we could continue with tutorials and support. He has done so well and his gifts in other areas amaze me.
All this to say that when you have a bright, eager child who is not learning conventionally, you'll see that unconventional methods will work. You just need to find the ones right for your daughter.
