Chinese people are generally different from one another. We are all individuals. We have differing intelligence, talent and capability. Some of us are smart, some of us are less academically-inclined. So there are smart Chinese and there are not as smart Chinese people.
However, the reason why the Local Chinese tend to score higher on exams overseas is because of their culture. They place emphasis on hard work to achieve what they want in life. As a result, they generally work and study harder, which is a reason for their Higher Results. They are also generally a minority and have assimilated to some degree to the culture of the country they are residing in, which means that if they are unable to achieve success in that country, they have nothing to fall back on!
Chinese people who go overseas to study are often ahead of their local counterparts. This is because their education system is ahead of other countries in terms of syllabus. As a result, they learn certain topics much earlier than their foreign counterparts.
Chinese Language consist of 50000 basic Characters, with a non-existent alphabet (Although the closest example would be Pinyin and Zhuyin, which can be difficult and time-consuming to master). You have to literally memorise close to 5000 basic characters to operate in China. Compare this to English, which only has a 26 characters alphabet.
I hope that answers your question :)
'Smart' in Simplified Chinese is written as '聪明'. In Traditional Chinese it is written as 聰明 and in Pinyin it is 'cōngming'.
To say "you are smart" in Mandarin Chinese, you can say "你很聪明" (nǐ hěn cōngmíng).
"Casey is an Irish name, not a Chinese name, so there is no equivalent for Casey in Chinese.
Cantonese is a dialect of Chinese, but Chinese can refer to the broader language family which includes various dialects such as Mandarin, Cantonese, and others. So while Cantonese is a form of Chinese, not all Chinese languages are Cantonese.
Mandarin, 普通话 is one form of the Chinese language that can be used to indicate Chinese. However, keep in mind that while mandarin is Chinese, not all Chinese languages are mandarin. Chinese language can be Cantonese, Min, Hunanese, Hakka, and more. So, Mandarin is not completely same as Chinese, it is simply the standard and most common dialect of the Chinese language.

The Chinese place a big emphasis on school and homework. This means that students study often and usually get good grades.
Very in Chinese is 很. So if you wanted to say "He is very smart" you would say "他很聰明".
