To be fair Pakistani children have caught up a great deal and now we are heading into fourth generations who will be even more successful i.e. both parents born here and so can pass on social capital to their children.
We do better than all others expect other Asian groups i.e. Indians, Chinese and Bengalis. Our kids to better than the white British.

GCSE results (Attainment 8)
In the 2022 to 2023 school year, pupils from the Chinese ethnic group had the highest Attainment 8 score out of all ethnic groups (65.5 out of 90.0).www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk
People also need to understand why this achievement is more remarkable than other groups.
The Pakistani elders virtually all came from rural and labour manual class backgrounds. Now combine that with their lack of proficiency in English compared to other groups e.g. Caribbean community. Their children had even less social capital than other migrant groups. Also we hear so much about Indian success in the UK. But do remember 20% came from Kenya, Uganda etc, and these were the upmost elite of the educated and merchant class. Which gave a massive boost to UK Indian stats. Now combine that with the immigration from Gujarat and elsewhere in India the majority has been Indian skilled work visas who again represent the best of the best. The only other communities which had similar stats to us are the UK Sikh community, but even then they were also bolstered by African migration. We also have the Bengali community who have also performed remarkably well.
If you look at the US Pakistani community, who hail from educated Muhajir backgrounds, and come from successful cities such as Karachi, they are among the top earners in the US. Again they represent the best of the community migrating.
