I don't think skipping school is in any way "wrong" or evil, as long as she keeps her grades up. If she misses school but gets A's then obviously she is learning her stuff. If her grades suffered, she would be wasting taxpayers' money, which is the only "wrong" that might happen here.
I generally take one day off a year as a mental health day, usually around march when the weather is getting to me. It has never harmed me, but then, I'm a good student. If you don't think your daughter can manage this, then say NO.
I think linking it to her grades is a good idea. That would ensure that she is learning her stuff and no harm is being done. I would NOT allow more than one day--this must not become a habit or she'll be in trouble in college!
I wouldn't let her go out on the town, though--you don't want anyone seeing her and thinking ill of her for skipping school. That sort of thing can ruin a girl's reputation. Instead, have them all over for a movie marathon: you will know where they are and they will not be thought ill of.
