School is a very popular setting for TV shows, and for a reason: you can force some very different individuals to interact with each other just because they're all in the same building.

If you liked Abbot Elementary which poured comedy, drama, and interesting family dynamics in the school setting, then you'd probably like these shows.

The good thing about the school setting is that it can focus both on the students and on the teachers. From the students' side, you get the coming-of-age stories, full of insecurities and questions about the future.

From the adults' side, you get their perspective on how to make the world for these growing kids better and how to deal with responsibilities, both regarding the kids and their problems outside of school.

Abbot Elementary has it all, but shows in this list are quite diverse. Not every single one features the school, but trust us, the vibes of Scrubs are pretty similar, even if it moves the action to the hospital and mixes the comedic slice-of-life aspects with the medical terminology.

David Makes Man, however, is a grittier take on the teenager's life, but it doesn't make it less captivating — on the contrary.
