Hello, time to think about moving schools??? If the school is not helping, maybe you need to find one who will work more proactively to overcome the problem.
Also, the school should have a school counsellor, they can work with your 9 YO on protective behaviours and also skills for making and keeping friends.
As to the constant infighting, if you ring some of the local youth and support services, you might find there is some assistance with behavioural issues. We did this last year when I was at my wits end due to (my lovely) DD's noncompliance when DH was away for long stretches of time. They come to the house and observe the dynamics, then give you strategies to practise. The service we used is free and the lady is delightful, very supportive and non judgemental.
PS Tell them it is at crisis point and you're really not coping, and they will escalate you through any waiting lists.
Good luck
