I would write your sentences as:
1) I am one of 33 students from School District xxxxx who... (where the xxxx represents the school district identifier)
2) "I felt physically ill..." is far superior from an etiquette point of view, and from a diction point of view.
Regards,
Russ

It is GrammAr, not grammer.
' I am one of THE 33 students from my/our school district who..."
How can you compare the second pair of sentences?

I like the former on both, but in the first part, instead of 'who', you might want to try 'that' if you're going for more impersonal. 'I felt nauseated' would also work well.

from our and physically ill
you could say "I wanted to be sick" but physically ill sounds a little less vulgar :)
