(Though this is retrospective by now.) The idea I had some vague inkling of was, "You could ask the school district to hold your daughter back a year on the grounds that she is not developmentally ready for this grade's work." I would expect that would not cost you extra.
This might be worth considering if you daughter is young for her grade. There seem to be significant advantages to being old for one's grade. (Consider its effect on soccer careers: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/07/magazine/07wwln_freak.html?pagewanted=all)
