Here's your answer: (a great High school in Doral, which a wonderful city for families... You have all kids and adults can need in one city): www.usnews.com/listings/high-s
Design and ARchitecture is IT for his interest. Do not be afraid fo the Portfolio, maybe he can apply next year. It is #5 in the COUNTRY for College readiness with close (if not 100%) of students going on to college. It is academically and artistically challenging but well worth the effort for both studnet and parent. Long days, lots of art projects. I have a daughter who is a Senior and loving it.

We live in the South Dade area near the Falls, Palmetto Bay and Pinecrest. All are nice areas with great schools - just depends on your budget for a home. Pinecrest is at the high end and South Palmetto Bay is more affordable. Palmetto (public) and Coral Reef (public magnet) high schools are academically among the best in the state and were both ranked in US News best high schools. Coral Reef also offers an IB program in addition to the magnet offerings.
Palmetto is more affluent and brings some of the negatives that can sometimes accompany that. Some kids might have a hard time there if they are not "mainstream types". Coral Reef is much more diverse and inclusive IMO. Both my husband and I are Palmetto graduates and we are hoping our kids can get accepted at Coral Reef.
Very family-oriented suburban area with large lots and nice neighborhoods. We love it, but If you are more of a beach or city person then you might like MBHS more.

Doral is a nice place, don't get me wrong, but it seems too boring for my taste. It is in fact very beautiful, but for some reason it reminds me of Orlando. I guess I'm used to the Westchester area! :D
I'd say Doral is the best city for families. You have everything around for kids. Great schools and wonderful after school activities.
