I have a major problem with my C++ Program

Question

For an assignment, I need to read in multiple sections followed by percentages. For example,

2 80 97
5 69 79 89 99 58
7 60 70 80 90 100 0 59

(2 being the number of percentages in a section, and so forth)

My program reads the first line perfectly fine, but then skips over the 5, reads in "69" as the next amount of percentages in the next section, and completely screws up.

Here is my code:

    //------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Name: ******
    //
    // Course: ********
    //
    // Purpose: To produce grading summaries by section, sorted by amount of
    // each letter grade, highest/lowest percentages and the average, as well
    // as the class averages, amount of sections and scores at the end
    //
    // Input: Prompted without text--the number of scores in a section, and
    // then the percentages within the section. Inputs are recieved until EOF
    //
    // Output: Amount of each letter grade, highest/lowest percentages
    // and the average, the class averages, amount of sections and scores
    //------------------------------------------------------------------------
    #include 
    #include 
    #include 
    using namespace std;

    //Initialize global variables for each letter grade, as well as the
    //'reset' variables so the variables can be reset after each section
    //is completed computing
    const int A = 90, B = 80, C = 70, D = 60, RESET = 0, LSRESET = 100;

    //Initializes the Main Function
    int main()
    {
       //Makes sure output does not exceed two decimal places
       cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);

       //Initialize all int and float variables
      int loopCount = 0, percentage = 0, scoreCount = 0,
       sectionSize = 0, sectionCount = 0, aCount = 0, bCount = 0, cCount = 0,
       dCount = 0, fCount = 0, lowestScore = 100, highestScore = 0;
       float averageScore = 0, total = 0, classAverage = 0;

    //------------------------------------------------------------------------
       //Primes the outer while loop
       cin >> sectionSize;
       cout << endl;
       //Outer while loop for each section
       while (cin)
       {
          sectionCount++;
          cin >> percentage;
          //Inner while loop to compute number of each letter grade,
          //conditions are until the section size is equal to the loop count
          while (loopCount != sectionSize)
          {
             //Simple if statements to see what letter grade
             //the percentage inputted falls into
             if (percentage >= A)
             {
                aCount++;
             }
             else if (percentage < A && percentage >= B)
             {
                bCount++;
             }
             else if (percentage < B && percentage >= C)
             {
                cCount++;
             }
             else if (percentage < C && percentage >= D)
             {
                dCount++;
             }
             else if (percentage < D)
             {
                fCount++;
             }

             //Increase the inner loop count and score count
             //so it can be used for future calculations
             loopCount++;
             scoreCount++;

             //Sets percentage to highest score or lowest score
             //when applicable
             if (percentage > highestScore)
             {
                highestScore = percentage;
             }
             if (percentage < lowestScore)
             {
                lowestScore = percentage;
             }

             //Compute the total score
             total = percentage + total;

             //Takes in the next number and sets it to the percentage
             cin >> percentage;
          }
          averageScore = total / sectionSize;
    //------------------------------------------------------------------------
          //Cout statements to print number of each letter grade,
          //as well as low/high scores and the average
         cout << "Scores for section " << sectionCount << endl;
          cout << "A's: " << aCount << endl;
          cout << "B's: " << bCount << endl;
          cout << "C's: " << cCount << endl;
          cout << "D's: " << dCount << endl;
          cout << "F's: " << fCount << endl;
          cout << "Lowest Score: " << lowestScore << endl;
          cout << "Highest Score: " << highestScore << endl;
          cout << "Average Score: " << averageScore << endl << endl << endl;

          //Resets variables that need to be reset after the loop is
          //finished
          aCount = RESET;
          bCount = RESET;
          cCount = RESET;
          dCount = RESET;
          fCount = RESET;
          lowestScore = LSRESET;
          highestScore = RESET;
          averageScore = RESET;
          total = RESET;
          loopCount = RESET;

          //Begins to compute the class average

          classAverage = classAverage + total;



          cin >> sectionSize;
       }
    //------------------------------------------------------------------------
       //Finishes computing the class average
       classAverage = classAverage / sectionCount;

       //Cout statements with final calculations and termination
       cout << "Total number of sections: " << sectionCount << endl;
       cout << "Total number of scores: " << scoreCount << endl;
       cout << "Class Average: " << classAverage << endl << endl;
       cout << "That's all the sections!! Normal Termination." << endl;
       return 0;
    }
    //------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been working on trying to fix this issue for so long now, someone please help. I've asked my professor and my peers to which the problem still couldn't be solved.
