While the third Cheetah Girls movie, "The Cheetah Girls: One World," is just as delightful as the first two installments, it's noticeably missing Galleria, played by Raven-Symoné. Her absence is explained by the other girls, who reveal that Galleria — who never paid much attention to academics — is somehow prepping to attend Cambridge (a school known for being difficult to get into) and must take summer classes owing to her poor study habits.
As far as explanations go, this one is pretty weak. Galleria was committed to The Cheetah Girls and made it clear that she'd happily prioritize her music over her schoolwork. It makes no sense that she'd move across the ocean to attend a British university — it's far more likely that she would have chosen a school closer to home so that she could continue to perform with her group.
Of course, there was no chance of Galleria being in the third film, as Raven-Symoné wanted out of the franchise. "I felt excluded," she said years later on an Instagram Live (via Vulture) of the "cliquish" vibe on the set of the films. Still, the writers could have sent Galleria to a school that made more sense for her character, like Columbia or NYU, both of which are located in New York. The summer school excuse would still have worked — she could hardly have flown to India if she were taking classes.
