Don Soffer Aventura High School (DSAHS) is a charter high school in Aventura, Florida.

It was named after land developer Donald Soffer.[1]

History

By the 2010s Aventura area parents wanted a high school in the Aventura city limits, partly because they perceived the Miami Dade County Public Schools-operated Krop High School to have become too large,[1] even though in 2012 Krop had a strong academic reputation. That year city council refused to go forward with the idea.[2] Colleen Wright of the Miami Herald stated that Krop's reputation was overshadowed by other newer schools and the demand for a new Aventura High School continued.[1]

Gulfstream Park Racing and Casino formerly owned the land which the Aventura city government purchased for the high school. DSAHS has plans to have 800 students.[1]

The campus has 53,000 square feet (4,900 m2) of land. Upon opening the school construction was not fully finished.[1]
