No, I would still do the printing of the apparel but I'm looking for a website that customers can order online and the nI can go in to see how many items of each style, color and size was ordered with each design.
What you're describing is a typical ecommerce website. Any ecommerce website would work. Even one you have now.

Im looking into the same sort of set-up. There seem to be some larger companies like OrderMyGear that offer the ecommerce option, but they have what I feel are too high fees or subscription programs. Some schools here in Ontario work with School Cash Online system for school related payments for activities, trips etc, but I've found the software to be very limited for selling spirit wear etc. I'd love to have a basic e-commerce site that I can use for the 10-12 schools I deal with each year.

We use Shopify for our ecommerce platform and they have something called 'collections'. I'm sure other ecommerce platforms have similar type of grouping schemes. It allows you to tag a product to a specific collection. Once thats done you can then create a unique url so visitors interested in ABC school spirit wear can go directly to that collection on your site.

For example abc-school.inkdraggeront.com or inkdraggeront.com/abc-school

You can use opencart ,it has multi site function so you can set up a store for each of your local schools if you need, all products for each store are handled in one back office.
Exactly what we do, we have 1 main installation and seperate 'stores' for each school.

I'm looking for a website that I can use for our local school to place orders, so that I can eliminate the paper trail of collecting orders and sorting thru them.
I would recommend Shopify. You could write a message that shirts won't ship until all orders are received.

Johnpk is right. I believe in owning your own onlinr shop, shopify is nice but doesnt allow any customization in regards to programming or making a shop look like its your own. Hosting fees for a website are about 38 bucks a year, and domain isabout 12 bucks a year, and a CMS package for creating a ecommerce site is free. I have put together a few sites for pretty cheap so if you interested you should hit me up. My current site ive been tweaking is www.ChesapeakeTees.com . It allows you to create a site around screen printing, dtg, or embroidery with custom images being uploaded. As of now I set my minimum to 10 and charge a screen printing like setup. You should totally look into this type of option vs paying stupid monthly fees to online shops.
