Hi...adenoidal size increase or hypertrophy is quite common in this age group. By what you quote she seems to be having mild upper airway resistance. Unless she is having daily noisy breathing and multiple sleep disturbances at night, which are making her sleepy in the morning and she is very very obese - I do not suggest surgery at this age group. Even if the above symptoms are present I would first try a steroids nasal spray before going ahead with surgery.
