Got it. It's hard. And schools are so busy working with the kids who are behind that they have no time or resources for the ones who are ahead. I have had some success with going to the principal or mechaneches to provide the extra material and have dd turn it in there, and sometimes to arrange a once a week pull out, when the teachers just don't have the time or resources.
Long term thought, unfortunately from experience: It's really important to make sure kids like this learn study skills, including the executive functioning needed to plan and space out and execute work and the emotional regulation and confidence to deal and keep going when it's hard. A lot of kids like this coast for years. Then they hit one subject they have trouble with in high school and they genuinely don't know what to do. So after years of straight A's they are failing geometry, or can't do the junior term paper because it requires a lot of planning and they're used to knocking everything out quickly. Many schools start planning like this in 4th grade. It will seem tedious to her. But she needs to learn it, with English, math, etc.
