I'm not sure if I'm following you here. Are you saying that all-girls schools aren't a likely place for lesbians to be at?
Well, I think it makes some sense for a teenage lesbian to
want to go to an all-girls school, lol.

I do as well, that's why my yuri vibes are very strong... I just don't understand why it has to be that the lesbians in anime are usually the girls we less expected..... an ojou-sama, the shy types, a priestess and even a yamato-nadeshiko! Oh, my...*face palm.

With the first three, I'm not sure why it's odd for them to be lesbians. I'll grant you that the yamato-nadeshiko being a lesbian does seem a bit contradictory, yeah.
Still, most of the "heavily implied" lesbians in anime are a fairly diverse group.
Nanoha is a fairly normal girl. Fate is a bit on the quiet side, but she's not too far off from normal. Homura's character goes through quite a bit of evolution, and she feels like a fully realized character because of it (i.e. not really an archetype). Kyouko is a fiery, tomboyish redhead. Sayaka is a slightly tomboyish genki girl. The one
confirmed lesbian in MariMite is also tomboyish. Saki Miyanaga is slightly boyish with a very "normal girl" personality (her mahjong talents notwithstanding). Nodoka is a dream girl for either gender.

And lastly the participation of other family members is limited..

In fairness, parents in general are often absent from anime. Clannad is the exception even for het romances in anime.
I do like the idea of a yuri version of Clannad, though. Part of a Madoka Magica fanfic I wrote was somewhat in that vein.
I would like to see yuri become a bit more realistic, sure. But I think a lot of its flaws are just common anime flaws (like lack of parents).
