OhHey, a couple of things:
-
Please take into consideration the quality of the school’s learning resources. Some schools (Brown) have excellent reputations for accommodating kids with LD’s should your daughter need it. You haven’t mentioned if she gets accommodations and support for her LD now, but she may need in in college.
-
Have a look at some of the reaches on this list which offer most if not all tuition for students with incomes under 100-120k.

Given your daughter’s success in school and her dyslexia, I think it is pretty likely your daughter’s ACT is not reflecting her intellectual ability. Just in case your school counselor hasn’t informed you, not all colleges require the ACT or SAT. Here’s a list of test optional/test flexible colleges. https://www.fairtest.org/university/optional

Has your daughter taken SAT subject tests? If not, you may wish to have her take one or two. You should definitely apply for accommodations for that as well.
Also,
Colleges which quickly come to mind for bright, kind kids, with physics, nurturing environment, access to professors:
28 ACT- Bryn Mawr is test optional; Hamilton is test flexible
Higher ACT needed: Yale , Claremont Colleges, Haverford https://www.haverford.edu/academics/biophysics-concentration
