Community colleges care much less because the students that go there are choosing those schools for very different reasons. In some cases it’s financial, in some cases lack of options, in some cases for very specific certifications, etc. Community colleges also have less ability to chase rankings through lack of $ to plow into marketing budgets or other fluff used to inflate rankings so there’s no reason to care all that much. The issue also isn’t something a student will be too aware of after the few months of college search prior to enrolling.
