I would reach out to the school consular to get strategies. If school can't/won't help, get professional help.
There is something going on - what you don't want to do is ignore it because this could get worse and then when she turns 18, she is an adult and your options become fewer.

I have (2) sons who both had issues for different reasons. My oldest was the worst - oppositionaly defiant from the 5th grade. He was placed in a therapeutic school in the 7th, 8th and freshman yr in HS before he was mainstreamed back into the neighborhood school. I can't begin to tell you what my wife and I went thru.

My youngest was a different story - an A+ International Baccalaureate student that went to straight F's in high school. He was placed in a military academy where he was thrown out. He was finally sent to the Utah dessert, an Outward bound type program (one of the saddest days of my life) where he spent 3-4 months. We placed him in a small private school where he graduated HS early and later,graduated college, cum laude.

It took work, help from schools, doctors and educational professionals and money. It took a toll on the family and marriage

I'm not saying your situation is similar to mine but- don't take this lightly. I hope it is just a phase for you.
