Built in a dorm room,
for dorm rooms.

A head of residential life had a problem. A 9th grader solved it. Now it's used by real staff, every week.

Where it came from

My head of residential life came to me with a problem: every week, staff were walking the dorms with clipboards, scoring rooms and scribbling notes, then posting results on a paper sheet in the dorm that students rarely saw. He asked if I could build something better.

I'm a 9th grader, and this felt like a real problem worth solving — not just a project. So I built DormTracker. It replaced the clipboard with a phone form, the paper sheet with a live dashboard, and the manual process with an automated system that emails students the moment a result is submitted.

It's been running at my school every week since. Now I'm opening it up to other boarding schools.

What DormTracker does

Works on any phone or laptop — no app needed

Inspectors open a form, select the dorm, score each room 1–5, add notes and photos. That's it.

Students and parents get emailed the moment a result is submitted

Fully customisable templates. No copy-pasting, no manual sends — it just happens.

Every result is saved — spot rooms that keep slipping

See trends by room, dorm, or week. Flag what needs attention, recognise what's improving.

Inspectors see only their dorm. Admins see everything.

One system with the right permissions for each person — no configuration needed beyond assigning a role.

Who it's for

Any boarding school with a residential life program. If your staff are currently using spreadsheets, paper forms, or a combination of both — DormTracker replaces all of it. It doesn't matter how many dorms you have or how big your team is.

Setup takes under 10 minutes. I'll help you get there.
