Confirmed ?: If confirmed, recurrent ringworm (tinea corporis) reflects a recurrent exposure to a source. There are 3 basic sources;people, animals and the soil. If you have a furry animal a check with the vet may find it. The other two are harder to source. There are also things that may look like ringworm but are really something else.

Re-infection: She may be getting the infection from someone else (school shower) or clothing (especially socks and shoes) which has not been thoroughly cleaned. I am sure no one else has the same problem.
