Parallel structure (2 from A, 2 from B, and 2 from C)

I'm not sure if the following sentence sounds good to a natiave-speaker.

Six students will be recruited from different sites. It is hoped to have two from a rural area, another two from a suburban area, and another two from a urban area. In each area, one middles school and one high school student will be included.

Is there a way to make this more concise and clearer?
