A Django-based school administration system covering admissions, payments (via Braintree), student records, teacher management, and a built-in blog. Aimed at small-to-mid schools that want a self-hosted, all-in-one admin panel without paying for commercial SIS software.
Multi-tenant institute support is baked into the data model early, which is the right call for a school SaaS pivot. The Celery/Redis setup for async tasks (email, PDF reports) is appropriate rather than blocking request handlers. Fixtures with a documented load order make local onboarding reproducible. The perf-test stack (Locust + Prometheus + Grafana) is genuinely useful infrastructure for a project at this stage — most hobby apps ship nothing like it.
The repo is tagged JavaScript as primary language but is clearly a Django/Python project — suggests the metadata hasn't been maintained, which is a proxy for other neglect. Braintree is the only payment integration and it's the sandbox flow documented in the README; anyone wanting Stripe or a non-US gateway is on their own with no abstraction layer to extend. Test coverage appears minimal (stub test files across most apps with no actual assertions visible in the tree), so the fixtures and manual smoke testing are doing all the QA work. The articles/blog module embedded in a school management system is scope sprawl — it adds migrations and maintenance burden without being core to the use case.
