How to filter students by category in myLexia
Overview
It can be helpful to use filters on the Manage > Students page, so that you can perform bulk actions on targeted groups of students. You may also want to use filters to find groups of students to export, or to see how many students meet specific criteria.
Applies to: Educators and administrators who have Teacher, School Admin, or District Admin access to myLexia®.
Educators who have Teacher access can use filters to see groups of student accounts, but can’t apply actions to multiple students, export student lists from the Manage page, or archive or delete students.
How do I use filters on the Manage > Students page?
Use filtering to find groups of students who have something in common, such as grade, class, or program assignment. You can fine-tune your results by filtering by more than one choice, and/ or customizing the column options.

Enter information to search, or choose from the column’s drop down menu to apply filters to one or more columns.
The students corresponding to the filter will be listed in the table. If no students meet the filter criteria, you will see “No Results Available.”
Sort the student list by selecting the column header of any column with an arrow icon.
