Advice for dyslexic daughter in Northern California

My daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia and central auditory processing disorder CAPD when she was 7 years old (in the second grade) by her school. They did not want to test her, but I wrote the principal a letter insisting on it. This year she is in the 3rd grade and according to last year's STAR tests, she is no where near the accademic level she should be at. However, the school keeps promoting her to the next grade. After meeting with her teaching, everyone is concerned that they're loosing her and that she'll hate school, which she already does. I believe the teachers are doing everything they can for her with their limited resources. I work with her every night as well. However, it's not enough for her. I'm a single mother, and I'm considered middle class. I cannot afford a tutor specifically for dyslexia or CAPD. Does anyone have any advice on what options are available for my daughter?
