If she isn't doing the school work, I think you will have a hard road ahead of you trying to change grades, and really it may not be the right thing academically.
Aside from her height, how does she relate with other kids. Does she flock to other 3rd graders? Or older kids?
My DD is starting to develop in 3rd grade. It's not precocious puberty at this age, just the beginning of puberty. DD went from being in the middle of the pack in height at the begining of the year, to being on the taller side now.
In her class their is one girl who is just plain tall. Her parents are tall, her brothers are tall. At age 8, she is taller than the teachers -- at least 5'2" if not taller. She catches everyones eye. But what I have seen of her she is very confident... her mother has pushed her in sports that build self-esteem - Tae Kwon Do, Competitive Swim team. Maybe focus on esteem building activities - somethings that me be in multiage group so she feels one of the pack.
I think changing age after she is cognizant of her age,would be very confusing.
