Lollipop Chart - Angelys Valdez

When comparing performance data, simplicity is key. A lollipop chart gives insight into how to compare academic performance vs. benchmark assessments. This chart is more minimalistic than other chart designs. There is no complex visualizations with these graphs. The axis labels state exactly the percentage of what the data means.




What the Chart Shows

The chart displays three categories of performances. Performance reached 50% which falls short of the 65% benchmark. In category 2, performance improved to 58%, which still does not reach the 65%. The last category's performance closed the gap at 67% surpassing the 65% benchmark. 

Why Use a Lollipop Chart?

    Unlike bar charts, a lollipop chart uses comparative distance rather than the volume of data. The lines         and markers represent the key points of the data. This is useful in presentations and visuals, so the                 audience can understand this easily. It is an effective way to communicate progress and measure                 growth.
