Reviewer Lisa Marie Bowman wrote, "Perhaps there will be a third film —
Rapidly Declining High, perhaps — that will explore whether or not the school itself is cursed. ... During its first hour or so,
Imperfect High feels a bit overwritten. Everyone is snarky. Everyone has a quip. Rob is perhaps the worst offender. This is one of those films that sometimes seemed to be trying too hard to capture the way that teenagers talk. Things got a little better once Hannah got hooked on pills, if just because the focus went from Hannah and her friends to Hannah and her mother ... But Nia Sioux gives a good performance in her starring debut." Trevor Wells of VocalMedia called the movie "unimaginative" and gave it a score of 6 out of 10, writing, "'Imperfect' is the ideal word to describe
Imperfect High, due largely to how the movie's plot makes it feel less like a sequel and more like a remake. ... The fact that Hanna and her friends can do drugs and meet with their dealer on
school property without getting caught even suggests that Lakewood has gotten even
more lax in the wake of Riley Taft's death. But after a few overwrought rants from Rob Walker, this potential plot element is forgotten about in favor of rehashing the original's story beats. ... Their characterizations are almost the same as their 2015 counterparts, with only minor alterations. As such, despite the solid efforts of their actors, none of these characters feel as compelling as the ones they're copying."
