Could it be Ace Lightning? https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/AceLightning
It's a live action show, maybe it was on Cartoon Network? It was Sci-Fi. There were three main characters, two boys and a girl. The girl was from a video game world, she was competent and independent, frequently rejecting the help of the two male characters. The main male character had a single dad. The two male leads played a video game which turned out to be its own world, there was some sort of evil villain in the game who was spreading out into the real world. The girl comes out of the video game world and enrolls into school with the two boys to keep up appearances that she's a real human being and not some virtual being. I remember two scenes: one is a portal to the game opening up in the boiler room of the school, another is the main character's dad being possessed by a plant monster and being turned into a zombie and being locked in the closet. Please tell me I didn't just make this whole show up. It's not Code Lyoko and from what I do remember it didn't do so well.
