She is tallest in the girls of Class A. -- No.
She is tallest among the girls of Class A. -- Not actually wrong, but more usual, and more natural to me, is "She is the tallest among...". I'd also be more likely to use "of" rather than "among".
In practice, I would usually simply say: "She is the tallest girl in Class A."
