It’s certainly possible that children who are being bullied at school could benefit from home-schooling, but my judgment is that if you are choosing between the two situations, then having a child who is able to attend school is better for her, and for your family.  If your child is currently bullied at school, we can look at different strategies to mitigate the problem.  Your family can also make a decision at the end of the year about what to do in the following school year.

Okay.  Right now you are talking about how you would handle a future situation, and that is good to start from.  My perspective is that school is one of the most beneficial, powerful, and transformative experiences a child will have.  It is a place where children learn independence, where they learn to share, to respect others’ space and needs, and to take responsibility for their actions and their words.  Sometimes they learn these things by getting into conflict with their peers, and so children are able to learn skills for managing conflict, to think about the consequences of their actions, and to learn from failure.  Additionally, they have the opportunity to develop interpersonal skills through forming friendships and seeing the way that peers treat each other.   It is possible for children to learn these skills in other ways, but school is one of the best places to learn them.  If you decide to not have your child attend school for the next year, I recommend that you also provide them with a challenging, rich, stimulating, and varied environment.  
I hope this helps!
