I would check how she does her schoolwork now. They can be incredibly picky about how it has to be done.
Currently she's using the Nexus 9 with a Bluetooth keyboard--and would still be happy doing that if the screen hadn't died--so I'm assuming that's all good. The only slight issue there is that proper MS Office on Android requires a paid subscription if the screen size goes over 10 inches so that's not going to happen. As long as stuff can be saved off in docx or pptx though I imagine it'll be fine.
ETA: and I'm never in a million years going to get that level of detailed info out of my sister or niece anyway so I don't think that could ever factor into decisions.
