If you want the axis lines vertically aligned despite having vastly different tick values, you will need to use the features of the SGPANEL procedure, putting all the graphs that need to be aligned in one multi-cell graph.  This will be a CLASS panel, so you get column of cells, one cell per group value.   For true alignment of varied cells (but still in one graph), you will need to use GTL (SGRENDER) with the LAYOUT LATTICE structure.  See the example at the bottom of this linked page of a BarChart and ScatterPlot where the Y axes are aligned despite the different tick values: https://documentation.sas.com/?cdcId=pgmsascdc&cdcVersion=9.4_3.5&docsetId=grstatug&docsetTarget=n114gxiyg1zfnfn1fb4szo8zczon.htm&locale=en   You may be able to force individual graphs per cell by setting ROWS=1 and COLUMNS=1.   ...

Not sure how you can do this with GCHART or SGPLOT.   However, one way to do this would be to use the SGPANEL procedure with PANELBY=AcademinYearBeg and the "BY variable".   This will create a panel of graph cells, one for each AcademicYear x BY variable with their values in the headers.  Default is UNISCALE=ALL, so this will show bars for all Status values in each cell with equal bar widths.   You can set ROWS=1 to get only one row or cells (all the Year values) in per output graph.   See: https://documentation.sas.com/?cdcId=vdmmlcdc&cdcVersion=8.11&docsetId=grstatproc&docsetTarget=p17wwoehcyc6mxn1hpcgxy8ixw6w.htm&locale=en     ...

If you have SAS 9.4M3 or later, it is better and easier to use the YAXISTABLE to create forest plots. See:  https://blogs.sas.com/content/graphicallyspeaking/2016/05/30/ctspedia-clinical-graphs-subgrouped-forest-plot/   ... View more

The GTL syntax that SGPLOT produces does support the JOIN=false option to achieve the visual you want.  SGPLOT may not implement this option.  One way to do this to run your SGPLOT code with TMPLOUT="filename" option.  The generated GTL code will be saved in filename.  Then add the JOIN option to the generated STEPPLOT statement and run the GTL program. ...
