==Reception== ''Class of Nuke 'Em High'' has received generally negative reviews. On [[review aggregator]] website [[Rotten Tomatoes]], the film received an [[approval rating]] of 20% based on 5 reviews, with an average rating of 4.2/10.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/class_of_nuke_em_high/ |title=Class of Nuke 'Em High (1986) |website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]] |publisher=[[Fandango Media|Fandango]] |access-date=May 19, 2018 |archive-date=December 2, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171202145706/https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/class_of_nuke_em_high |url-status=live }}</ref> [[DVD Talk]] offers a more positive assessment of the film: "''Class Of Nuke 'Em High'' isn't a film to be taken too seriously, but rather enjoyed for what it is and that's a crass, gory, trashy fun-filled eighty five minutes of Troma style high jinks. It plays off of different clichés and stereotypes really well and provides plenty of low-brow laughs and splattery set pieces."<ref>{{Cite web |title=DVD Talk |url=https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/41793/class-of-nuke-em-high/ |access-date=2023-06-14 |website=www.dvdtalk.com |archive-date=2023-09-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230907230947/https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/41793/class-of-nuke-em-high/ |url-status=live }}</ref> A review for ''Horror DNA'' praises various aspects of the film, including special effects and [[cinematography]]: "The film is a testament to filmmakers with high ambitions and low budgets, as the production value is at times quite impressive. The miniatures used for the nuclear plant are effective and the visual f/x do not stick out as shoddy or overtly fake. There are some nice action sequences involving motorcycles and even some gun play that are tightly edited and help the film to zip along. Michael Mayers’ cinematography adds a layer of beauty to sequences that otherwise risk appearing cheap and jokey."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Class of Nuke 'Em High - Horror DNA |url=https://www.horrordna.com/movies/class-of-nuke-em-high |access-date=2023-06-14 |website=www.horrordna.com |date=23 June 2010 |archive-date=2023-09-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230907230947/https://www.horrordna.com/movies/class-of-nuke-em-high |url-status=live }}</ref> The film earned $1,900,000 at the US box office.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=j2BZAAAAMAAJ&q=troma+hollywood+power+stats | title=Hollywood Power Stats | isbn=978-0-9638748-4-9 | last1=Reynolds | first1=Christopher | date=1993 | publisher=Cineview Pub. }}</ref>
