I have chosen to display the percentage of students (by grade level) in the Athens

City School District that are considered proficient in math. This information was
taken from http://reportcard.education.ohio.gov/Pages/Download-Data.aspx. I
chose this display as it shows a year-by-year sequence of where students stand in
regards to their math proficiency over their academic careers. Although a bar graph
may have been a strong representation of the data (as it may be more visually
appealing), I like this approach for those that are numbers oriented as you are able
to read each percentage individually rather than try to gauge the increase/decrease
between years as bar graphs can sometimes be misleading when showing changes
in values.
