In this paper we examine challenges faced by students of color in an intervention program [Opportunity] in a socially stratified community on California’s Central Coast. The purpose of this paper is to name and discuss the problems students face: lack of support from the teaching community, the school staff and the administration of the parent district.

Finally, we seek to share a narrative overview of a teacher’s experience in creating the conditions for an inclusive education.
