Could it be Angel Dusted (1981) or Desperate Lives (1982)? Both were made for TV movies and both had Helen Hunt in it.

No, I saw those two, and it wasn't either.

Watched the DVD of Over the Edge last night. I am sure this is the movie title you are looking for.

Interesting commentary on casting and fact that this film was loosely based on a real incident that happened in Foster City. Apparently the students stormed the PTA meeting but they did not riot and create the destruction to the extent that it was depicted in the film.
