Either your wife or your daughter won't be happy and will seek the BBC. Pick one.

I can only offer anecdotal evidence, but my parents moved the family in the middle of my sister's Junior year.
She has since been married 3 times before she turned 35. Take that fwiw.

I might figure out a way for my daughter to finish school there, assuming that is what she wants. Either family or friends, or something.

You should do everything you can to have your daughter finish her senior year where she is now. It's absolutely fricked up to move her senior year, not even just from the social aspect. It could be a huge mental, emotional, and academic frick up, no matter if she "adjusts". Those on here saying she will adjust don't know your daughter.
I say this as someone who went to 7 different schools as a kid. Although I turned out fine, I wish I never had to change schools so much.

You can't stay behind in an apartment to let her finish it out while wife goes ahead?

She'll survive.
High school's actual importance in life is roughly 1/10th of what you think it is when you're 18

Is your daughter popular? Very active in school activities?
My in-laws had a similar situation and they did the rent house thing. Sold their home, MIL moved into an apartment with daughter who was a senior in High school, FIL moved into a rent house in new city. I wouldn't have done that though, my SIL wasn't very involved in school and rarely even hung out with friends or anything.
High school isn't important, chances are that your kid is moving to a new city for college anyway.

My wife's parents moved just before her senior year. She was very active in high school (majorette, clubs, etc) and wanted to stay. One of her friends' family took her in for that year and she graduated with her class.

easy solution
rent a house for a year for you and your daughter
your wife can rent a place for a year
its just temporary
that is unless you are disabled and absolutely can't work or provide any type of income at the moment?

First world problems. Yeah, she'll have to make new friends. Bummer. She'll do the same when she goes to college.

No, but I suspect we would live in different cities until my daughter's senior year was over.

Jerk move on you and your wife's part.
Did you even include her in the decision making process? I've been told that having children is about thinking of them over yourself.
How hard is it to wait a year than do what the hell you want?

Career military here, so yeah my older son never went to the same school two years in a row. Retired and back home in Arkansas now, won't ever move again.

She'll be sleeping with everyone at her new school so she can make friends quickly.

Yes, I have. My family moved during the summer of my Jr. year. I had no desire to start over again at a new school, so I worked it out with friends and teachers and I stayed behind for the next school year to finish. I lived with my friend from church and relied on teachers and coaches for rides to and from school. My grandpa sent me a monthly stipend of $80 and I made it work (it was the 90's). I graduated with all A's and perfect attendance that year.
