The predominance of Asian American students in a school by 2012 could be attributed to several factors. According to various sources, Asian Americans are known for their strong emphasis on education and academic achievement, often due to cultural values that prioritize education and hard work. This is supported by a study published in PNAS, which suggests that the educational advantage of Asian Americans over whites is mainly due to the greater academic effort exerted by Asian students PNAS. Additionally, the Pew Research Center reported that Asian Americans are the highest-income, best-educated, and fastest-growing racial group in the United States Pew Research Center. The growth in the Asian American population and their academic achievements could have contributed to a higher number of Asian American students in schools. Furthermore, the role of supplementary education, or "shadow education," may also play a part in the high academic performance of East Asian American students, as indicated by a study in the Education Longitudinal Study NCBI. These factors combined could explain the increased presence of Asian American students in schools by 2012.
