I haven't seen Welcome Back, Kotter in years, but the theme song popped into my head a few days ago. I know that his dreams were his ticket out of there but that they have turned him around, but do we know why Kotter returned to James Buchanan High School?

Gabe Kaplan was a remedial High School student in Brooklyn. He fashioned his sitcom on the concept of a student from his background, returning as a teacher to teach the next generation of remedial students.
So, to answer the question, Kotter was supposedly a founding member of the Sweathogs, and he was returning to the high school he graduated from to teach the next generation of Sweathogs, who he knew he could relate to and therefore unlock their potential.
"Who'da thought they'd meet ya
back there where they'd need ya?"
They needed a teacher who could get through to the kids. But, in reality, they expected to only get (at best) a babysitter to hold class until the sweathogs dropped out. Of course, since Kotter could relate to them, he was able to actually get them to learn.

- It's based on Kaplan's own life and Kotter is the teacher he'd wanted to have (so he played him)
- Kotter is especially capable of dealing with the Sweathogs, having even been a founding member himself.
Robert Windler in People 1978:
“Kotter is not a show,” Kaplan agrees. “It is my life. Kotter is the make-believe teacher I wanted to have in Brooklyn.”
On page 425 of Robert Alleman's 2004 book New York: The Movie Lover's Guide: The Ultimate Insider Tour of Movie New York tells us about New Utrecht High School (16th Avenue and 79th Street):
Fans of vintage TV shows may recognize this Bensonhurst high scholl from the credit roll of the 1970s hit series Welcome Back, Kotter, which Brooklyn-born comic Gabriel Kaplan created and starred in. Kaplan never attended New Utrecht High, however; he was an Erasmus grad and is said to have based Kotter on his Erasmus days.
Regarding his motif, wikipedia states:
Being a founding member of the original Sweathogs, Kotter has a special understanding of the potential of these supposedly "unteachable" students.
