The student list in the left panel of Student Performance is your jump menu, which is a fast way to switch between students without leaving the tab.
Sorting Options
Two sort modes are available, toggled at the top of the list:
Name (default) Alphabetical by first name. Best for general browsing or when you know whose data you want.
Accuracy Sorted by accuracy ascending — lowest-accuracy students at the top. Best for weekly triage when you want to see who needs attention.
Click the toggle at the top of the list to switch between modes.
Searching
The Search students field at the top of the left panel filters the list as you type. It matches against first or last name.
This is especially useful in large classes (25+ students) where scrolling becomes tedious.

What's Not in the List
The student list shows all students currently enrolled in your classroom. If a student you expect to see isn't there:
They may have been removed from the classroom (check the Students tab)
They may not have completed registration yet (check that they used your class code)
They may have joined the wrong period (verify with the student directly)
