Don Soffer Aventura High School

(Redirected from Don Soffer Aventura Charter High School) Charter school in Florida, United States

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

It was named after land developer Donald Soffer.

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, even though in 2012 Krop had a strong academic reputation. That year city council refused to go forward with the idea. 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.

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.

The campus has 53,000 square feet (4,900 m) of land. Upon opening the school construction was not fully finished. In 2019, the Victoria Sorokina Aventura High School building was finally finished with the first year of students entering the school in August of that year. With over 100 students in the school that year, the year went by smoothly. When COVID-19 started to occur, everyone was sent to their homes and learning continued from there.
