My daughter failed the 8th grade math portion of the CRCT

My daughter failed the 8th grade math portion of the CRCT. We live in Georgia and if a student fails either the math or reading part of the CRCT in the 8th grade, they are retained. She passed the reading but made a 281 on the math (300 is passing).
She has to retake it at the end of June in order to be promoted. Summer school is strongly encouraged by the school, but I feel like her tutoring would be more productive at home. I am a school teacher.
Her CRCT score does not tell what areas that she is low in. I guess they won't have that back until next year.
My daughter has always struggled in math, but this year, she has gone through teacher after teacher. Her first teacher left about a month after school started for bed rest and maternity leave. Then she had a more lenient teacher. The she had a very hard teacher, then back to the lenient teacher, then back to the hard teacher, then her orginal teacher came back. The inconsistency did not help at all.
What can I do to get her caught up in a short period of time.
Thanks for any advice...
