About Abbott Elementary

Abbott Elementary is a workplace comedy that centers around passionate educators and a somewhat misguided principal working together in a Philadelphia public school. Despite facing numerous challenges and a lack of resources, these committed teachers strive to ensure their students succeed academically and in life. The show not only entertains but also highlights the real struggles and triumphs experienced within the teaching profession.

In a time where educators are increasingly recognized for their vital roles in shaping future generations, Lakeshore Learning's Classroom Makeover Sweepstakes serves as a reminder of the impact we can all make by supporting teachers who dedicate their lives to fostering a love of learning.
