I'd style this a bit differently:

Clear[makeScorePanel];
makeScorePanel[names : {__String}] :=
   Module[{text, k = Length@names, name = RandomChoice@names,
     studentInfo, classFlag = True, buttons, class, percent, next,
     correct, questions},

    "internal functions";
    correct[_] = 0; questions[_] = 0;
    percent[name_] /; questions[name] == 0 = 0;
    percent[name_] := Round[100*correct[name]/questions[name]];

    "display elements";
    text = "Was the answer correct?";
    next := (questions[name]++; name = RandomChoice@names);
    class :=
     If[classFlag,
      Panel[Grid[
        Prepend[Transpose[{names, getQuestionCount[],
           getCorrectCount[], getPercent[]}], {"Name", "Questions",
          "# correct", "% correct"}], Spacings -> 3,
        Dividers -> Center]], ""];
    buttons :=
     Row[{Button["    Yes    ", correct[name]++; next],
       Button["    No    ", next],
       Button[If[classFlag, "Hide Roster", "Show Roster"],
        classFlag = ! classFlag]}];
    studentInfo :=
     Panel[
      Grid[{{"Name", name}, {"Questions",
         questions@name}, {"Correct answers",
         correct@name}, {"% correct", percent@name}},
       Alignment -> Left]];

    "exported functions";
    Clear[getCorrectCount, getQuestionCount, getPercent,
     displayPanel];
    getCorrectCount[] := correct /@ names;
    getQuestionCount[] := questions /@ names;
    getPercent[] := percent /@ names;
    displayPanel[] :=
     Dynamic@Panel[Column[{studentInfo, text, buttons, class}]]
    ];
makeScorePanel[{"apple", "bob", "cat", "dog", "ear", "frog", "greg",
   "hippo", "i9", "joe"}]
displayPanel[]
