I think that she wasn't in HSM for two reasons. The first one was that I think Disney wanted to get a new pool of teens that had never done any disney work before to be in HS. She was in That's So Raven and known from that so that is why they diden't cast her.
Also, I do believe thhat for a while she wanted to go away from the typcial disney roles and do more mature stuff.
And, on a personal note. When I said to her at the stage door that she was gr3eat and that I hoped that she did more theatre she commented that TV pays more. So, I don't know if she will be back on broadway soon.
