I've made a library on top of D3 at an internship with a startup (Goalbook) to help visualize their student data, goals and performance. Github: https://github.com/JainLabs/charts Sample implementation: http://jainlabs.github.com/charts/goalbook.html Docs: http://jainlabs.github.com/charts/

It's meant to be easy to extend and wrap. To make it easier to represent (for example) the reading level of a student, you can use the DRA (a common reading metric) wrapper. Rather than describe the _chart_ (x, y coordinates), you describe the _data_ (timestamp, score).

We also invented a new chart - grouped line - to represent complex goals for students. The grouped line chart shows multiple trials in a day/period, rather than boiling data down into a single point. The sample implementation demos a use case.

I would love feedback on the project!
