Pretty surprising results. I hear people constantly saying that Finland has the best education in the world and the US should be more like them, well not for boys, obviously.

Yes, that Finland has a good education system is only part of the history; depends which country you're comparing it to, what metrics are more relevant to your analysis, etc. They also have a high suicide rate amongst young people, same as Iceland, even though their students score high in international rating systems.
