Is there an achievement gap for other groups such as Asian students?

No, even for Asians from poor countries and with language barrier. But we are not allowed to talk about that.
Not just Asians, even Africans (blacks), e.g. Nigerians - they even outperform local (US) whites!
Talk about what?

Asian students outperform their white peers.

We shouldn't teach them until 11th grade, give everyone a few years head start.
Yes. But I'm afraid in the opposite direction.
