Richard Harrington from ''[[The Washington Post]]'' gave the film a negative review, writing, "Even within the limited expectations of the horror genre, it's not particularly satisfying, since the chills are all on the cheap. However, sitting through ''Hell High'' is likely to bring back at least one high school memory, that of a long, long, long detention, made worse because you have to pay for it."<ref name="harrington89">{{cite web |last= Harrington |first= Richard |title='Hell High' |url= https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/hellhighrharrington_a0aab8.htm?noredirect=on |work=[[The Washington Post]]|archive-url=https://archive.today
Most reviews were negative. However, Brett Gallman on his website ''Oh, the Horror!'' considers it "a weird, gangly, messy perversion of 80s slashers", commending the film's darker narrative, performances, and dismantling of the typical slasher film formula.<ref name="gallman17">{{cite web |last= Gallman |first= Brett |title=Horror Reviews - Hell High (1989) |url=http://oh-the-horror.com/page.php?id=2102 |website=Oh, the Horror.com |publisher=Brett Gallman |access-date=5 June 2018}}</ref>
