This returns a string, not a list. Moreover, lines.extend() is
useless. Replace this with:
def stu_scores():
with open("file.txt") as f:
lines = f.readlines()
return lines[11:]

Splitting one character will turn it into a list containing itself, or
nothing if it was whitespace.

This is not what you want it to be — it’s only a single letter.

Thus it fails here, because ['n'] has just one item, and not nine.
