Best CCs in the country?

Rivers Cuomo of Weezer went to Santa Monica.

Does anyone actually rank CCs?

Miami-Dade College is an excellent 2-year college. I am very familiar with the higher education options in south Florida, and I can tell you that if they offered a 4-year degree in what I'm majoring in, I would definitely have stayed there.

I would say that the criteria potential CC students should consider when deciding on the "best" school would be articulation agreements/transferability of credits, faculty, and course offerings. With that being said, it would make sense to decide what school you want to transfer to and look into the CC nearest to it. That's because the faculty will likely overlap to some degree, and chances are the schools will have agreements about requirements and transfer credits. As far as determining which CC nationally is the "best," it's just about impossible to do so objectively because there are too many factors involved.

Mt Sac is an excellent school and so is Santa Barbara City College!

In Virginia the 4 year colleges have articulation agreements with the community colleges for guaranteed admission based on a certain gpa. University of Va and Virginia Tech you need a 3.4 for guaranteed admission and other colleges such as Radford and Old Dominion you only need a 2.5. Almost every public college and just about every private college is part of the agreement. I think any state that offers this from attending community college first ranks as being proud of the education received at the community college level and successfully prepares students for some outstanding colleges and universities.

Bellevue College (previously known as Bellevue Community College) is a fine CC in the Seattle area.

How do you think about Monroe Community college?
I will go to there from Japan in this winter.

[AnythingToSay]

I live almost right next to Miami Dade College - Kendall and frankly, I think it's okay. I don't really know because I haven't attended any other community college (just go there for piano lessons and dual enrollment) so yeah, my scope is pretty limited.

Austin Community College in Austin, TX is awesome imo. While it doesn't have a guaranteed transfer program more than 200 students of year go to UT Austin from there and 600 or so go to Tx State. On top of this you get all the free tutoring help you need classes no larger than 35 and instructors that care.
