I think magical potential at age five is literally a measure of potential only, and does not necessarily reflect what one can achieve if s/he has undergone intensive training.

In the Japanese wiki entry, which quoted the pamphlet of the movie as the source, the magic rank of Alicia is E. However it is also said that the rank is no more than an educated guess since she has never attended any magical test.

Btw Chrono is also said to have poor memory, poor physical strength and low magical potential at the age of five. But he overcame all of them with his own extreme hard-work and his rank is already AAA+ by A's. It is quite likely that he has an even higher rank in StrikerS.
