Scoop: ABBOTT ELEMENTARY on ABC - Tuesday, December 7, 2021 In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate TEACHERS - and a slightly tone-deaf principal - are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible educators may be OUTNUMBERED and underfunded, they love what they do - even if they DON'T love the school district's less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.

"Pilot" was written by Quinta Brunson and directed by Randall Einhorn.
