Draper, Suncrest, and Alpine are definitely worth a look before making your final decision. I know a couple of guys who moved down from Park City to be close to Juan Diego Catholic HS in Draper. Lots of opportunities and choices regardless of religious affiliation and/or price range.
Good Luck..and Welcome Aboard!
I lived in Utah for 10 years. It's a great place overall. Keep in mind that at a young age your kids will do fine. It's high school where issues will come up. Check if the high school you kids will attend has a ward building within walking distance of the school. If it does then you will have problems. All after school activities will center around the ward. Also keep in mind that the first few years it will be assumed you can be converted. If you choose not to convert then attitudes can and will change.
