The Letterboxd review, while critiquing the "atrocious" color grading typical of the era's Digital Playground releases, ultimately called the film "pretty great," praising its pacing and humor. The film's commercial and critical success was enough to spawn a sequel, Teachers 2 , which was released in 2015.

"Teachers" received mixed reviews from critics but has been praised for its lighthearted and comedic take on the teaching profession. Jesse Jane's appearances in the film have been noted for their comedic value and unexpectedness.

: Reviewers on IMDb note that while the acting can be "pretentious" or "bad," the film compensates with well-choreographed sequences and high-profile stars.
