We know that.

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

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.

No, it doesn't show that.

The sentence you're interested in is "Between 2000 and 2011, the percentage of teenagers living in Montgomery County who were white fell from 60% to 54%, while the proportion of white students in MCPS high schools fell from about 50% to 33%." Or, better stated: in 2000, 60% of Montgomery County teenagers were white and 50% of MCPS high school students were white, compared, to 2011, when 54% of Montgomery County teenagers were white and 33% of MCPS high school students were white.

Incorrect, unf looks like C2.0 doesn't focus on math and graph literacy so much.

You're quoting the blue line stats in the graph yet saying the graph and the differential doesn't show exactly what was summarized: More whites left the school system (-17%) than left the county (-6%).
