OK only if there is some “alternative” for her outside of the mainstream yeshiva/beis yaakov programs. This might be a special school for girls/boys with behavioral problems and special needs that the regular school has tried to accommodate but unsuccessfully. Perhaps it requires home schooling under the supervision of educational professionals or even an out of town private school specializing in behavioral issues. Too often, the issue is simply that a student (girl or boy) is lowering the school’s ratings on standard exams, other parents are complaining and the school has not been willing to invest the additional resources required to handle special needs kids.
From a legal perspective, of course, any private school can make such decisions “at will” but I’m speaking based on what I understand to be the views of knowledgeable rabbonim and askanim who have opined on this question.
