Algebra is definitely something that one should get under his/her belt before moving on. Every class you take after Algebra is BASED on Algebra. If she doesn't learn it now, she will struggle throughout her math career. I took a college course just this spring, and I was SO happy that I learned Algebra well, because I was one of a few that wasn't struggling to understand Finite Math due to a lack of basic Algebra understanding.
Although HS points are based a LOT on homework, etc., you should seriously think into getting her signed up for a summer school class. Barely passing should not be acceptable, especially for a girl of her capacity!
Tell her she can ask me for help!
(I was an Algebra tutour a couple years ago.)
