What is the sentence for a juvenile who has committed assault or battery?

My daughter had been teased because of her weight and size. One day a girl had been teasing her and kept egging her on and she snapped. She hit the girl and knocked her out and hit a few more times before she walked away. She may be facing a felony battery charge but she has not had her hearing yet. What is the maximum sentence she can receive? She is 16 and has never been in trouble like this before.
