I realize this isn’t answering your question but please do consider ensuring she has current testing and is able to readily access accommodation IF it becomes necessary in college. Much better to have that set up and opt not to use it, than to lose important early months getting something on board. It is not uncommon for kids who found highschool to be relatively straightforward, to find that their LD poses new challenges if they attend a rigorous college where the sheer workload volume and speed is entirely different from highschool (a decent arts degree for example, will typically have very high volumes of reading that even those without dyslexia find a big challenge to adjust to in order to keep up).
