keep in mind this is only my 2c. and i don't have any kids...but...
I think any school you would "move" to would be an adjustment, there will be things there that will upset her-because it's not what she is used to. Change is difficult for anyone- Especially a teenager. To have new fears means facing a new challenge, this is good.
It's ok to have hesitation and a little fear, but it is not good to back down from it...this could create a habit (and a bad one at that). I personally would look strictly at locale and academia, if you think it is a very good school and it is within close range (not upsetting life's routines too much with commute) then i say go for it. No matter which school she would change to, of course she will be afraid and not think she'll fit in...who does? but if she's Anything like her mom, she'll have NO problem making friends quite soon. it all takes time.
And you can't judge a book by it's cover...i know you've heard this, but remember this goes both ways. So kids that judge your daughter by the way she dresses or where she "comes from" are not people you want to be around anyway, but that goes for her view on them too. Sometimes they only "seem" a certain way on the outer layer, dig a little. Though there will Always be the clicks and the 'mean' kids, there are tons of others as well.
I think that your daughter being there would do NOTHING but benefit That School! She will add with participation AND personality. Focus on school work and what she enjoys (be true to who she is) and friends will come naturally.

Best of Luck to ((((((you and your daughter))))))
