A story like this making the national news is pretty rare, but I think the behavior of the kids and the parents is pretty common.
The article that gives the parents' side fails to note that one of the reasons that the situation got out of control was that the parents refused to accept the punishments that the school originally gave the girls for the various thing they did. The parents would appeal the decisions on behalf of the girls, and I think it taught the girls that they were running the show.
Had the parents backed the school in saying "no" early on, I wonder if any of the elements of the national news story would have happened?
