White student number have fallen like a rock in 20 years.  How else should we interpret this?[/quote]

Percent of people under 18 in the US who were white/non-Hispanic in 2000: 61%
Percent of people under 18 in the US who were white/non-Hispanic in 2020: 47%[/quote]
Demographics for the win![/quote]

You sure do love hiding behind your percentages.  However,  these numbers back up my assertion that's white people are fleeing MCPS

# white students in MCPS
2000 - 65,849
2005 - 58,780
2010 - 49,795
2015 - 47,331
2020 - 41,455

Total # MCPS kids 2000-2020
134,308 to 160,564[/quote]

You could say that *all* of the students from 21 years ago have "fled" MCPS.[/quote]
You could also say that while the overall MCPS population grew by 18% the white population fell by 38%.  It looks to me like white people are increasingly unhappy with MCPS.  The same thing happened in PG County after it introduced busing and it suffered a 50 year decline. PG used to be THE suburb to live in back in the 40s through the 70s.  MoCo isn't immune to the same kind of decline especially with socialists steering the county government.[/quote]

I believe the under 5 age group for the whole  country is majority minority now so this is not just an mcps specific change...and likely less related to fleeing and more related to larger Asian and Hispanic increases.[/quote]
