I agree she’d be considered homeless. Springfield Public Schools has a Homeless Liaison that would be a good place to start for her to get enrolled and she can contact them without involving her parents. The number is (417) 523-7587. https://www.sps.org/Page/2436
Also, I would check out the Middle College at OTC (Ozarks Technical Community College). That might be a good fit for her. You could also give them a call and talk with them and/or the homeless liaison could provide more info. 417-447-6997. https://academics.otc.edu/middlecollege
Thank you for taking the time to care for her. Wishing you all the very best!

THIS! Just co-signing that by what you have shared she does qualify as McKinney-Vento and therefore has a right to immediate enrollment and district provided transportation.

The National Association for the Education of Homeless Youth has a great FAQ that you can reference and share with her and the school: https://naehcy.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/2017-10-16_NAEHCY-FAQs.pdf
