Drumline heavily features a band director, but I'm not sure how interesting it is to non-band geeks. Roger & Ebert gave it a better review, but my husband sided with the more negative ones along the lines of pass on this movie if you think football fields are for football.
I suspect movies about inspiring English teachers just have more mass appeal. I would have loved to have had an inspiring English teacher since English or Language Arts was always my least favorite class through all of school. So I like movies that portray English teachers actually trying to get their students interested in what they are teaching.
Spare Parts is about an engineer turned interim science teacher. It's based on a very interesting true story, but if you aren't really into college engineering competitions, it probably looses some of its charm.
This looks good, OP. We probably all need some good entertainment to see us through this prolonged stay-home period. I could be up for some engineering geekery.
High school settings are the easiest because you can get a bunch of 20-something actors to play the part of the students. If you try to do a elementary setting, you have to get actual child actors and that complicates with how long they can shoot and how well the kids can act.
Your typical Viewer can probably empathize with an English teachers frustrations about students not being able to do something as basic as reading and writing. Watching students struggle with Physics, and certain math, a viewer likely can understand students not picking it up and misbehaving.
STAND AND DELIVER was aggravating to me b/c he was pushing hardcore math at a level that non-engineers and scientist find useless

Stand and Deliver was not about math! I would think that is painfully obvious. Anyone who thinks this was a movie about math entirely misses the point of the whole thing.
