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]

We know that.

The bar chart that is more insightful is the one that shows MCPS penetration trends; namely showing that whites living in all catchment areas in MoCo are increasingly not attending MCPS.

From 2000 to 2011:
In top HS areas: went from 68% of whites attending MCPS to 57% whilst being 76% of the catchment area. 
In aggregate: went from 50% of whites attending MCPS to 35% whilst falling only from 60% of pop to 55% of pop. 
In the NE and DCC consortiums: MCPS attendees dropped at 3x the rate as the drop of whites in that catchment area.
