Generally, the younger they are the easier it is.
There are advantages to starting a school year along with everyone else but then again those can be offset by the honeymoon period of being a new girl and the focus of everyones attention if she starts during the year. If she has some time in a primary school then she would be going on to HS with at least a few friends but OTOH if she starts new at a HS then so will everyone else!
Simple answer is that there is no simple answer, there are pros and cons for whatever alternative. Only thing is that if you leave it until she is an older teen she may, like others on here have found, be very settled into her social cohort and give you a whole heap of stress if you try and separate her from it!!!!
