Oh, and this might sound weird, but for the sutherland institute site, you might want to ignore the environment aspect. It seems that the more diverse a school is, the more conflicts it has and the less funding it has. Think about it this way: Park City High has one of the highest environment scores. Yet it is extremely segregated between the whites and latinos, and it contains almost no other minorities. It is also very classist. (However, it is quite liberal towards queer folk, non-mormons [actually, mormons are made fun of in PCHS], and people who are politically liberal.) The high environment ranking comes from the fact that they can afford resources. That is good and bad. On one hand, you do have those resources. On the other hand, the wealthiest communities also tend to be the least diverse ones.
Does this make sense? Also, think about what kind of diversity you want... racial, religious, political, etc. In an ideal world, you could have all, but, well, this sadly is not an ideal world... although SLC is much better than Utah County.

Good luck!
