To any extent that you're willing to give critical feedback, I would be grateful. Let me describe my basic "stats" below to give you some context...
27 year old Male/URM (Biracial -- Black/White).
GRE: 168Q/165V/5.5 AW (95th percentile/95th percentile/98th percentile -- 760 GMAT equivalent)
Undergrad from Notre Dame (Philosophy Major) -- GPA 3.1. Despite poor GPA, can demonstrate upward trajectory (got 3.5 GPA last two years of undergrad, plus earned two master's degrees -- one in Liberal Arts, GPA 3.4, one in Education, GPA 4.0).
Work Experience:
Worked 3 years (currently in 4th year) as a classroom teacher through highly competitive alternate-route teaching program (not TFA, but has 10% acceptance rate, serves low income/minority students, and includes full scholarship for ed degree). Earned highest test scores in the district, coached sports while teaching, hired by my program after graduation to train new teacher candidates. Transferred to a charter school district after two years, where, after 1 year, I was placed into a district leadership position.
Other Extracurriculars:
Did lots of political internships during college, including working for Obama campaign press team. Founded an academic journal, coached sports while teaching, tutored low income/minority students.
Career Goals:
Work in consulting (ideally MBB) post-MBA for 3-5 years. After that, segue back into education sector to either do performance improvement for struggling districts or manage a major education organization.
Targeting: Stanford GSB, HBS, Kellogg, Berkeley, Dartmouth, Yale

Thanks for sharing. I think you have a very interesting background which many schools will really get excited about. Your obvious red flag is your GPA score but given your high GRE score and subsequent performance in other masters programs I think there should be limited concerns about your aptitude. Also, as a minority applicant this should also help as top programs still struggle to secure diverse candidates.
I think you should be in play at all of the schools listed. For all of the schools but especially Stanford and HBS you really want to tie back your interest in pursuing an MBA to some underlying passion. It seems like it is education for you but make sure to connect the dots and you should have a chance if you can execute appropriately.
