I know of such a case that happened many years ago. The girl was adopted by a regular family and was in a regular Bais Yaakov but she opted out of being Jewish when she became twelve. Because of the technical difficulties in raising her as a non-Jew along with their other children, her adoptive parents sent her to a boarding school for high school.
