The film was selected for the Grand Jury Prize competition at the 1987 Sundance Film Festival.[3] It was originally broadcast on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).[4]

A second documentary film about the former Torrance High senior class was directed by Keva Rosenfeld in 2014 (released in 2015), All American High Revisited.[5][2] It combines the original film with new footage of the film's principal subjects being interviewed on their high school years, the process of growing up, and the various paths in life that they took.[5][6][7]
Critical reception
- People Magazine: “Keva Rosenfeld does a spectacular job of candidly capturing the life of typical suburban teens. It is true. It is hilarious. It’s a little frightening. This is one wonderfully entertaining documentary.” [8]
- LA Times, Patrick Goldstein: a “topsy-turvy blend of the innocent and the exotic.” “Startling...” and added, “rarely intrusive and never condescending.”[9]
- Hollywood Reporter, Duane Byrge: “Fascinating, insightful, and highly entertaining.“Every bit as piercing as Fredrick Wiseman’s classic portrait “High School.”[10]
- New York Times, Vincent Canby: “If Keva Rosenfeld’s vividly satiric All American High is to be believed, this country is headed for hell on a surfboard...”[11]
- LA Times, Sheila Benson: “The most cheerfully terrifying movie I think I’ve ever seen.”[12]
- Sneak Previews, Michael Medved: "A brilliantly conceived motion picture."
- The Village Voice, J. Hoberman: "Bears out Werner Herzog's observation that, although they believe they are normal, Americans are the most exotic people on earth."
- L.A. Weekly, John Powers: "A documentary that might chill you were it not so funny."
