OP, maybe your kid is some sort of stealth genius.  You should sign her up for the SAT.  Also, have her join the math team or science olympiad team.  If she starts knocking things out of the park, then you'll know more about her capabilities. [b] If she doesn't - and she likely won't-[/b] then you can relax and appreciate that you have a very bright, high-achieving, normal child.  [/quote]

Why "likely won't"?[/quote]

I'm the first PP.  I would say "likely won't" simply because most parents have a grossly inflated view of their child's aptitudes.  Maybe you're one of those rare parents who has downplayed her child's abilities, but in this area, that would make you a unicorn.

I'm also having a hard time imagining a child who is at the 1/1000+ level, but not showing much beyond good grades in honors classes and some test scores.  By 9th grade, I would expect some sort of significant achievement, or at the very least, a few teachers who have made a huge deal about your child being the brightest they've ever taught or way beyond the norm.
