That week is one of the absolute worst weeks to go. Crowd levels are at a 10 (out of 10) and it's peak pricing. Also, considering how close it already is, you may have to stick to counter service dining because ADRs may be hard to find. What grade is your daughter in? Have you talked to the school to see what their take is on her missing a week? For the most part, from everything I've read on numerous Disney forums, as long as the child doesn't have excessive absences most schools have no problem with elementary age missing a week.
We are going March 9-12, we always go during spring break as its the only time both DD and husband and I are off together(we both work for a college). Honestly as much as everyone talks about the crowds, i expect Disney to be crowded and we have never had a problem. We use the FP and plan our days. If you want ADR's you might have trouble.
If your Spring break doesn't coincide with the "national" Spring break, the crowds won't be as bad. A LOT of school districts have their Spring break as the week before Easter and that is considered Spring break week at Disney. That's the week when the crowds are at their highest. All of March tends to be higher crowd wise, 5's 6's and 7's, because a lot of people go during their Spring breaks, but the week before Easter is when the highest number of people are on Spring break.

Just plan wisely. That's not a lot of time for an extremely busy week. It will be busy the whole time you're there, not just during the week. But at least you're going in prepared so you won't be surprised.
