If you’re referring to this study here :

Where Shanghai, Korean, Hongking and Singaporean kids rank on top, while the USA ranks in the mid twenties, a lot of people have commented that it isn’t comparing their best with our worse, but their best with our AVERAGE.
A lot of people doubt that the kids in Asia who took the tests given were a representative sample of their kids. They complain that those who took the test were “picked”.
Not sure though, how accurate that claim is.
