He's "A~" specifically which if I'm remembering right means that he's "at least" that strong but is assumed to be stronger. They just don't have enough information on him. I think all the ghouls introduced so far with an "~" in their rating have later had a proper rating higher then the base.

e.g.

Nutcracker was A~ then was given an S when it was discovered she had a dual kagune.

Seidou was SS~ until they could asses the damage at the Auction then was given an SS+

I wouldn't worry about Shikorae's rating too much. Likely, it just means that they lack information on him and ratings generally seem to imply potential "danger" rather than "strength".
