I don't know what you mean by did a school get more "white" than last year.

According to many reports, MCPS is getting less white do to three main factors: White flight, Rapid increase in ESOL/URMs, and Whites in MoCo not attending MCPS.

Here's a good 2013 take on it, I'd be curious if the attendance gap is widening, i.e. more whites in MoCo not attending MCPS.  The % of white kids living in MoCo and attending MCPS been decreasing the last 10+ years.

The percentage of kids in Montgomery County who are white has also been decreasing. Because math. When people who are not white move in, the percentage of people who are white decreases.[/quote]

With that said, the percentage of highly educated white people zoned for TPMS seems to be increasing. Given that 25 seats are held for in-bounds kids each year, I don't think it should be particularly surprising that there are white children who  were selected for the magnet. The swing this year of white kids (the whole reason for this thread) was 2 kids. Which could be anything - cohort, kids moving in-bounds, etc. [/quote]
