Data from Hong Kong PISA 2003 show that 15-year-old Hong Kong students who have immigrant parents from mainland China are grossly overrepresented in grades below the modal grade attended by most native Hong Kong students. Same-age comparison, when grade level is not taken into account, puts immigrants' children at a disadvantaged position in the mathematics, reading, and science literacy tests. The academic advantage of immigrants' children in Hong Kong is only revealed after grade is statistically controlled. Also, mainland immigrant students who are repeaters outperform native Hong Kong repeaters. Immigrant redshirting is a possible driving force behind these results.
香港2003年国际学生评估项目（PISA）的数据显示，父母来自中国大陆的15岁香港移民学生在低于大多数本地香港学生就读的中等水平的成绩等级中所占比例过高。在不考虑年级水平的同年龄比较中，移民子女在数学、阅读和科学素养测试中处于劣势。只有在对年级进行统计控制之后，香港移民子女的学业优势才显现出来。此外，重读的内地移民学生的表现优于本地重读的香港学生。移民延迟入学可能是导致这些结果的一个驱动因素。
