Can a school/municipality be sued for not teaching a child?

My daughter is 16 and a junior in high school. She has done poorly in math for several years. She failed last year with a grade of 20. The school finally tested her and this year she was put in special education just for math. But she is so far behind, I feel that she will need extra tutoring, which can be expensive. In trying to figure out when she started doing poorly, she said it was after 3rd grade. She stated her third grade teacher barely taught the class, that most days of that school year her class went into the special ed classroom and just watched movies. According to her the teachers from those two classes were friends. I would like to sue just for the cost of the tutoring that she requires to catch up to her peers.
