Blessed Sacrament Parish School
The school was founded around 1929. "Judge Sonia Sotomayor, 55, was a student at Blessed Sacrament in the 1960s, attending kindergarten through eighth grade at the Catholic school and graduating at the top of the class of 1968." She was the valedictorian and had a near-perfect attendance record. "It would seem that the school has 40 or 50 students per grade."
