Incorrect. School ID's are not on the list of approved government-issued ID's. Here is the list.

Just get her the state ID or an expedited passport. It's theoretically possible to travel on a domestic flight with no ID, but that requires independent verifications. Given that a 16 YOA may well not have established credit, utility service and the like, it's not worth the hassle.
