At your dd's age, I wouldn't worry about competition level. It sounds like they may be teaching her skills 1 or 2 levels above the "team" assignment. That is what I would ask about...what is she learning? Until she makes an independent "commitment" to the sport for the love of the sport alone...the specific coach she has today will matter a lot more than the quality or culture of the gym as a whole. If you like her coach, and they teach correct form (which it sounds like they do since they place well).. there is probably no reason to change right away. I think Wallflower nailed it in her post.
