How do you disable an iphone 5? Need to prevent my daughter from using her phone during school
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4
In the U.S., the major carriers offer parental controls. They would be your best option.

Wrong. AT&T parental controls, i.e. SmartLimits will only block texting and inbound/outbound telephone calls and costs $5 per month. What good is this if a person can utilize this functionality via apps and wifi?
The question remains, is it possible to disable an iphone 5 to prevent its use (cellular data and wifi).
No, not really. Even the Restrictions won't prevent that.
Either take the device away when she goes to school, get her a basic flip non-smart phone to use when she's not in the house, or put in a passcode that only you know, so she can still make an emergency call, but can only unlock it when you're around.
