The
original album cover (designed by Craig Braun) had the sleeve opening
in the manner of a wooden school desk, similar to Thinks: School Stinks,
by Hotlegs, released two years earlier. The band members' names appear
in the form of graffiti carved into the desk. The vinyl record inside
was wrapped in a pair of panties, though this was later discontinued as
the paper panties were found to be flammable. The desk photographed for
the album cover is on display in the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas.
Ian Chapman has put forward a theory that it was a concept album about youth lost when leaving school.
AllMusic
reviewer Tim Sendra states that "half the joy derived from listening to
School's Out is to marvel at how daringly the band took all the
goodwill they had engendered to this point and blew up their
just-barely-established template in fascinating, almost reckless ways.
