Abstract
This qualitative case study is aimed at unpacking the schooling experiences and outcomes of African American students, in general, and males in particular, in special education. Findings from this case study demonstrate how one academically successful African American male, diagnosed with an intellectual disability, meets and exceeds school expectations within his general education experience. This case study underscores the significance of listening to students, building strong home-school collaborations, and creating supportive networks as three important ways to better understand and promote student academic performance and outcomes.
