Does EEA residence card make you an EEA Citizen?

I'm filling out my Vietnamese step-daughters school application form and it asks whether she has EEA Citizenship and I don't know how to answer this. She has an EEA Residence card in her password.

Thanks for your help.

So for instance in my husband's EEA2 application, if I were to include evidence that my father was working during the time I was still dependent on him (1986-2001) I would have proved my permanent residence, and so no longer need to prove I am exercising my treaty rights?
