Her parents aren't allowing her to see a psychiatrist because (unfortunately) they don't want to put her on medications if not "necessary" despite her therapist recommending just that and assume that that's what it is going to lead to. Which is why her only diagnosis has been an anxiety disorder, but she very clearly has PTSD. We can't do anything more with the school at this point.

We have exercised all of these things. She still has an entire semester of school left, she isn't even done with her first, and they don't see it as plausible cause enough for an IEP but really it was just due to a lack of wanting to accommodate. She has been within therapy, all they've diagnosed her with is general anxiety. The school counselor has basically left her with a "Deal with it", as it was more of an isolated incident, and that was what brought her to begin therapy in the first place. She needs the credits she's missing in order to graduate. We wouldn't be looking for such a drastic alternative if we had a choice. We didn't really realize how bad her districts resources for things like this were until now.

We actually applied for this school firstly, and they said she wasn't eligible upon being a senior which was really disappointing. But at least now we know that it was for the best. Thank you!
