Balancing a kid's need for education and their need for social interaction can be tricky. The fact that you've asked her what she wants shows that you're on the right track. I would sit down with her and discuss the pros and cons of going ahead vs. staying put, and then you two can come to decision together. No matter what there is going to be a chance that the wrong decision is made, but at least that way there won't be any conflict over the result due to the fact that the choice was mutual. My parents made all of those decisions for me, and I still resent them for that.
And congrats, Losty! You should be proud. We need more gifted children in this country.
