I'm only thinking out loud here but what is her school work like, is it possible she has learning difficulty. Thinking back to her grade 3 episode of skipping the day, often children who have learning difficulties will misbehave to take away the attention from their school work, just a thought.
A tutor would help but only if she's prepared to put in the work. I would be speaking to the school they really should be providing her with (not sure what they are called) but at my kids school they have aids who help one-on-one with the children who have learning difficulties and they also have special programmes which they run for these kids. The school should be doing more for her. This could have a great deal to do with her actions, she may be getting picked on at school, other kids seeing that she is not as smart as them etc.
I would see if the school counsellor wcan give her an academic assesment to see if there are any underlying learning difficulties.
I think a teacher's aid would embarrass her and wouldn't work but some tutoring would be good.
