Yes. A lot of families with highly gifted students move to Poolesville because they are then assured of a place in the school and are not subject to the MCPS attempts to choose race over merit. In recent years many Asian and White families have moved there from other parts of the county to avoid falling victim to the misguided attempts of MCPS to put race above merit. for magnet admissions.

It is illegal for MCPS to use race as a factor in admissions, and there is no evidence that MCPS uses race as a factor in admissions - notwithstanding repeated assertions on DCUM.

As for many Asian and white families moving to Poolesville, well, let's see for 2017-2018:
