School management system
Great School
Great School brings school records and daily administration into a Django web application and API, with a Flutter client for mobile and desktop access. It includes workflows for school heads, bursars, teachers and parents.
Problem
School staff and parents need access to fee records, attendance and academic reports, including when connectivity is unreliable.
Decisions
A central Django backend serves the web interface and Flutter client. The client stores its local cache with authenticated encryption and keeps pending work for sync. The backend separates staff and parent workflows and generates PDF documents.
