That is a difficult situation Cricket and I think there are so many variables that may be different for different people that it is hard to answer that question. I can say that I know I've done MANY things (being a stay at home parent, homeschool, etc,) that I sure never thought I'd never do. It is hard to say "never" until you've been in that situation. I would put little stock into your relatives comments about sticking it out though.
For me one of the key variables would be how bad the situation was for my child. If it was "gee could be more challenged" I wouldn't move for that. If it was "gee I wonder how she's going to make it through high school without self harm" then yes, I'd move for that.
In general I am somewhat wary of moving for a school because I've seen it not work out for some other families. Perhaps before you get too far into trying to think through the scenarios it would be good to go for a really thorough visit to the UW program. For sure I would really look at the curriculum and environment for the first year and make sure that's a good fit.
Perhaps this has already been discussed but would something like PEG or a high school boarding program be an option? In some ways that's less radical of a change and in some ways more of one.
