| dc.description.abstract | This scoping review delves into the multifaceted challenges experienced by underserved highachieving students of color within educational settings, incorporating the framework of oppression theory. Drawing upon this framework, the study explores the intricate interplay between systemic barriers, individual coping mechanisms and promising approaches to the problem. By synthesizing existing literature, this review aims to identify key stressors and impediments encountered by high achievers of color, shedding light on their unique experiences within educational contexts. The review examines various scholarly perspectives to elucidate pathways to help the students and their families overcome these obstacles while providing guidance to the institutions serving this demographic, and our government to do better. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics shaping the educational trajectories of underserved high achievers of color, with implications for policy, practice, and future research initiatives. Ultimately, this review underscores the imperative of addressing systemic inequities and promoting inclusive environments that nurture the academic and socioemotional well-being of underserved students of color and their families. | |
