Given the particular circumstances that you describe and assuming that the school attendance will start after the adjustment of status application is filed, it would not appear that the Ukrainian girl would be violating immigration rules or compromising her green card application by going to a private school. She should be able to keep attending school until the time that the adjustment of status application is adjudicated.
