Yea they do, but only because they have ways to work AROUND the disastrous US educational system (like after school learning centers; formal Saturday Asian-only study groups, etc.) Do not, for a minute, give the US educational system ANY credit for their outcomes. It is strictly of their making, IN SPITE of what they have to put up with.
